The draw weight adjustment is the same as a cam bow. Just back the limb bolts out. One turn is about 6 pounds. When doing this make sure you never back out more then 2 turns per side. Myself, I only do one turn on each side. I do that just to make sure I keep the timing correct.
If you have any issues with the bow. Contact Joe. He has American Eagle Bows. This is his website for Oneida and AEB. http://www.oneidabows.net/

No bow press. Just back the limbs out till the string goes slack after you loosen the timing screw. Then tear it to pieces from there. Lol and getting the limbs ground is better than longer cables (that coming straight from Joe when i asked him). Something to do with the amount of tension on the limbs at a lower draw weight. Btw grinding the limbs is alot more than just making them thinner. The amount of material and where it is taken off hugely varies depending on the current weight range, type of bow, new weight range desired, etc. Joe has the expertise needed to do that kind of job and he does it really well thats for sure. Highly recommend him for anything Lever bow.
