Now that I have finished up my Aeroforce bowfishing rig its time to start working on the Black Eagle.

My Black Eagle has 60 to 80 LF power limbs, I would like it to have around a 65lb top end. From working on the Areoforce I have gotten to know how these bows work and it seems like longer power cables and string length change could accomplish the task of lowering the max poundage.

Has anyone done this?
If so would you be willing to share the proper cable length and string length.

The sticker indicates it's a medium LF with a 43 1/4" omniflight string. I have it apart to replace a timing wheel and thought this would be a good time to make this mod.

Also I noticed the edges of the hinge where the power cable sits is worn and is starting to groove the limbs. Should the hinges be replaced also?

I know I could just back the limb bolts out, but what fun would that be.

We have used different length cables to adjust max draw weights many times. I like to set up my bows so they max out around 62/63 pounds with the limbs cranked down most of the way.
I would recomend changing the hinges if they are worn this much. Also inspect all parts of the bow. Adjust and lube everything and reasemble.
If you let me know which bow you have and what cables you have we can send you the cables you need.

I do also have a BE I 60 to 80#, and a oneida af 60 to 80# And i want to reduce both of them to 62 - 65#. They are both on their way from the sellers.So i will have to come back with the spesifications on the bows later.
I hope it is possible to change the powercables on the oneida af as well.

Working on oneida bows is very easy and going over your new used bow is always a good idea also.

I agree! And thanks to this exellent forum, and all the people who are willing to share their expertise. I am able to work on these bows here in Norway.
