Draw Weight Adjustment
Adjusting the draw weight on your Diamond Infinite Edge is a straightforward process that allows you to customize the bow to your individual strength and shooting style․ This adjustment is achieved using the limb bolts located on either side of the bow’s limbs․ These bolts are typically marked with increments to guide you during the adjustment process․
To increase the draw weight, tighten the limb bolts using a 3/16 inch hex wrench․ Conversely, to decrease the draw weight, loosen the limb bolts․ It’s crucial to adjust the limb bolts equally on both sides of the bow to maintain balance and prevent uneven stress on the limbs․ Always consult your user manual for specific instructions and safety precautions regarding draw weight adjustment․
Using the Limb Bolts
The limb bolts on your Diamond Infinite Edge are the primary means of adjusting the bow’s draw weight․ These bolts, typically located on the top and bottom limbs of the bow, are designed to be tightened or loosened using a 3/16-inch hex wrench․ Each turn of the limb bolt corresponds to a specific change in draw weight, usually indicated by markings on the bolt itself․
When tightening the limb bolts, you increase the draw weight, requiring more force to pull the bowstring back․ Conversely, loosening the limb bolts reduces the draw weight, making it easier to draw the bow․ Always adjust the limb bolts equally on both sides of the bow to maintain symmetry and prevent uneven stress on the limbs․
Refer to your Diamond Infinite Edge manual for specific instructions on the number of turns required for each increment of draw weight adjustment․ Remember, safety is paramount, so always exercise caution when working with the limb bolts, and never adjust the draw weight beyond the manufacturer’s recommended limits․
Safety Precautions
When adjusting the draw weight of your Diamond Infinite Edge, safety should always be your top priority․ Here are some essential precautions to keep in mind⁚
Never adjust the draw weight while the bow is loaded or cocked․ Always ensure the bow is unloaded and the string is slack before making any adjustments․ This prevents accidental firing and potential injury․
Use the correct tools․ Use a 3/16-inch hex wrench specifically designed for adjusting limb bolts․ Avoid using any other tools, as this could damage the bolts or the bow itself․
Adjust the draw weight gradually․ Do not make large adjustments to the draw weight at once․ Instead, make small adjustments and test the draw weight after each change to ensure it remains within your comfort zone․
Avoid exceeding the maximum draw weight limit․ Each bow has a maximum draw weight limit specified by the manufacturer․ Never exceed this limit, as it can damage the bow and pose a safety risk․
Seek professional assistance if needed․ If you’re unsure about any aspect of adjusting the draw weight, consult a qualified archery professional for guidance and assistance․
