Tightening limb bolts?
« on: August 07, 2012, 09:03:00 PM »
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.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
