Mathews SoloCam bows have 10 pound weight reduction range from your Bow's peak weight (example : if your bow has peak weight of 70 pounds, you can adjust it as low as 60 pounds).Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16" or 7/32" Allen wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counterclockwise to decrease the weight. Each rotation is equivalent to 2 to 4 pounds of draw weight. It is very important to adjust the limb bolts equally but do not exceed 5 full turns out from maximum draw weight.

My bow shows the peak weight is 65, and I'm a medium-sized woman who just started Archery so I need to know if I can lower it. I tried so hard to pull the string that thought I was either going to snap it or tear a muscle! It won't budge. It's a Bear Whitetail II 2 compound hunting bow. Thank you so much for any help!!! =)
Question, did you purchase your bow from a dealer or private party. If it was a dealer I wonder why{ he} or she didn't set you up. I am a beginner and when I bought my bow they set my draw length and draw weight. If you bought from a private party try a dealer and I'm sure they would be glad to adjust your draw weight.
Their are two Allen bolts on each end of the riser connecting the limbs. These adjustment bolts turn clockwise to add weight to the bow and counter-clockwise to reduce the weight. Be cautious when reducing weight not to back them out too much and release the limbs!
On all the compound bows i have seen the draw weight is adjusted at the at the base of the limbs by a hex key
I think that if you are using a compound bow that you can tell by one of the wheels on the bow. there are different settings that you can chose from.
it has a weight lock on it to adjust the poundage you must unscrew the lock then tighten with the desired alan wrench
****Answers**** Every bow you should be able to adjust that.

80 pounds is a very low draw weight for a crossbow and a very high draw weight for a standard bow
yes. it weakens the limbs and reduces draw weight. best to unstring the bow while in storage.
