it has a weight lock on it to adjust the poundage you must unscrew the lock then tighten with the desired alan wrench
Yes, the Fred Bear Badge compound bow does require a bow press to change the draw weight. Using a bow press allows you to safely and effectively adjust the limbs and cam system of the bow to modify the draw weight. It is recommended to have a professional handle this task if you are not experienced with using a bow press.
$65.00 if it is in good working condition.
Bear Whitetail Compound Bow is adjustable in 5# incraments minimum is 45# maximum is 65#
On my Bear Whitetail Hunter there are 3 slots on both the top and bottom pulleys that the cable sits in. One center, and on either side the others are marked with a plus or minus. It is my understanding that you need to put the bow in a press and move the cable position to the desired slots (plus to lengthen, minus to shorten). I am in the process of shortening the draw length of my own. As far as the range of length adjustment or whether both pulleys need to be in the same slots I am not sure. Hope that this helps somewhat. Happy shooting. Jake.
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.
there are two Allen wrench screws on the limbs of the bear bow as there is on most bows,one on each limb. losen them and the poundage is lowered tighten them and it is raised. be careful not to tighten all the way this will cause breakage.
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.
you can them in 50# 60# and 70# max draw weights I have the 70# model and love it great bow for hunting and shooting!!
Bow it, meaning to draw a bow across the strings.
If it is a compound bow, the type of bow with the pulleys or "wheels" at the ends of the bowlimbs, there should be some way to adjust the draw-length of the bow itself; it may be best to consult someone at an archery shop for the best way to make such an adjustment. When using a Traditional bow -- a recurve or longbow, or other non-compound type -- the only "adjustment" is to simply pull the string back (in this case) to 27 inches; reducing the draw-length in this way also reduces the effective draw-weight of the bow. Also, when using a Traditional bow, and the archer has a longer draw-length than the bow is rated for (i.e., the archer's draw-length is 30 inches, but the bow is rated at 27 inches), it is always advisable to make sure the bow is designed to withstand the longer draw-length. Failure to do so can result in the catastrophic failure of the bow, and possibly serious injury to the archer. Increasing the draw-length of a traditional bow will also increase the effective draw-weight of the bow.
"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.
