Wanting to know how many lb's does one rotation drop/raise draw weight on apprentice 2? Set at 26" draw, not supposed to go below 38lb's according to manual, Thanks!

That bow is a 60lb maximum and says not to let out more than 6 turns per side. If it does not go below 38lbs at 26" draw, then 60-38=22/6= 3.66 lbs or 1.83 pounds per rotation per side. Although I suspect that it is based on more of a curve as the further the limbs are turned in the more deflection resistance they will have and more wight per rotation will be present. I have one for my 6 year old son and if you really need to know I can set it for 26" and let you know the weights as I turn it in one rotation at a time. I currently have it set to the lightest for him since he's just starting out.

I hate for you to go thru that trouble. I had it factory set at 26" and 45lb for my wife, but she is new into archery and 45 is just a little much. I turned it down 1 and a half turn, could stand to go one more turn, I just don't know how many turns they made at the factory already

One thing you could do is count the number of threads of the limb bolts showing between the limb and riser and figure out if it's close to six. Anyway, I measured the distance between the limb and riser with the bolt out 6 full revolutions and it measured .410-.425 depending exactly where you place your measuring device. Hopefully that will help you some.

Thank you for the help, think I have it down to 41lbs by doing the math you said earlier. She can pull it better. Taking to the pro's to have arrows cut, so I will have them double check it. Thanks again

The 6 turns off the limb bolts is very cautious on Bear's part. I've seen them out 10 turns no problem and I've probably even had them out close to that on some of the shorter DL's for young kids. I'd say at 26" you're plenty safe at 8 turns. The limb bolts on those are pretty dang long. If you're not sure how many they've gone out, just crank them down counting the turns so you know. Then back out the same to return to the same weight.

I went ahead and adjusted my sons cams to 26" and at 6 turns out it was 30 lbs, which would indicate 5 lbs. per revolutions if it weren't on a sliding scale that gets higher the further you turn them in. Anyway, good to hear she can draw it now and best of luck.

The draw weight at 26" won't go to 60#. It will only hit 60 at max dl. So the draw weight adjustment changes with the draw length.
