Hi,
I have just won on Ebay a Hoyt Gamegetter Jr Compound Bow which was listed as 22 to 24 DL and 15 to 25lb DW and this is what the labels state on the bow.
When the bow arrived I gave it a pull, as you do, and thought "that's more than 25lb". Out with the allen keys and wound the limb bolts fully home and then backed them off 4 full turns and put it on the scales, 28lb..
Does anyone know or suggest why it is so far off from what it is supposed to be?
I bought it for one of our juniors who wants to shoot compound but just can't afford new and the price, ?25, and listed specs would have suited him down to the ground but as it is, is no use to him at all.
Any ideas?
Phil
Edit,
It is an older bow with round wheels, steel cables and teardrops if that makes any difference.
