On the PSE Nova (2001 Nova OC with r6 cam), you want to tighten the limb bolts all the way on both limbs. Then start backing them out equally on each limb. 1 full turn out is somewhere between 2-3lbs. I would take a crayon or a pencil and mark a line for reference so you know exactly where one full turn is.
My Nova is stamped on the limbs to not back the bolt out more than 4 turns. So you can assume an 8-12lb. draw weight reduction.
the draw lengthon a nova s7 bow can be adjusted between 27-29 inches
30" is not a draw weight, it is a draw length. It is the length of the draw from the bow to the string when the bow is drawn.
The draw weight should be marked on the bow. You cannot go any higher than the marked draw weight unless your bow has removable limbs, then you could buy limbs with a higher draw weight. You will ruin the bow if you use it with a higher draw rate.
PSE Nova compound bow is high on the list of most deer hunters. The most important thing is to determine the draw and weight you need for your size and strength.
"Draw weight" is a measure of the strength required to draw a bow as well as the force it imparts on the arrows it shoots. It is usually measured in pounds.
it has a weight lock on it to adjust the poundage you must unscrew the lock then tighten with the desired alan wrench
yes. it weakens the limbs and reduces draw weight. best to unstring the bow while in storage.
when you have let off on your bow, when you pull it back depending on the bow you will have anywhere from 50% to 80% let off, which means if your bow is a 70 lbs pull draw weight and you have 50% let off then you are only holding 35% of the draw weight. now if your bow has 80% let off then your holding only like 18 20 24 % of the draw weight.
Cabela's.
IM pretty sure i have the same bow.
you don't need a press to change the draw weight. there are hex key (allen wrench) bolts at the end of the riser where the limbs meet the riser. tighten them in equal increments or just go as tight as they both would go. (max draw weight) fyi. they both need to be the same. otherwise it can throw off the timing of the limbs. making it not as accurate.
Crossbows are usually a higher draw weight because a person of the same strength can wield a stronger crossbow because they can use legs as well as arms when bracing a crossbow, wheras a bow uses only the arms to draw.
