Hi all
I recently joined AT and have read through many threads but I couldn't find the answer I'm looking for.
I have a PSE Baby G force bow (28" draw at 70lbs) that I bought a few years ago and have shot and taken many deer with. About 3 months ago I had shoulder surgery and when I finally healed up I thought I would start practicing for the upcoming deer season and I found I wasn't able to pull my bow anymore. I started to back out each limb bolt a turn at a time and kept trying to pull it back but couldn't. Well..I ended up going too far and now my limbs are out of their pockets. The sticker on the limb says it's capable of turning down to 55lbs but evidently even that is too much for me right now.
I know the first thing I need to do is put the limbs back into their pockets but not sure how to do this safely. Think it would be alright to use a press without causing any damage either to the bow or me? Should I take it in to the shop?
One more question which will probably be answered at the bow shop if I need to take it in.....are all pockets the same depth? Just in case I can't get the poundage down low enough for me (with the current setup), are there limb pockets that might be deeper for my bow? Sure hate to have to retire the ol' girl and I don't really have the cash to buy a different bow. Now that hunting season is here and my two tags are waiting to be filled. Any suggestions on what I should do?
