How tight should your limb bolts be on a bow. I tighten mine until they are tight but not to the point that I am forcing the bolt in more. Is this the right way to put together a take-down?

With an allen wrench, I was taught to only tighten using the thumb and a finger.

After cursing through every slice and missed shot on the first nine holes, a golf partner said to his frustrated and cursing partner, "I think I can tell you your problem." "Really?" "You just aren't that good."
