Adjust draw/pull weight on Tomcat Archery Set

How to video on the Tomcat Youth Archery compound bow set by Barnett.

[@MamaEgg3308]

It’s been 6 years according to YT but this was a simple/easy tutorial on how to adjust this little bow. And I’m thankful that you posted this. Thanks, man. I hope this message finds you well.

My husband cut the tip of his finger wide open because he didn't wear gloves. Those are steel cables, and it's really hard to turn the wheel when the string pops off. Thanks for this video. It helped with my sons bow. Simple and straight to the point. No fancy intro. Thank you alot.

[@tubeabq]

You're welcome. Wish I knew a better way to do this, but at the time, that's what I came up with. After all these years, you'd figure the company would add instructions.

[@nectarcollector2512]

Even at its heaviest draw this thing has no power whatsoever. Thanks for your video.

[@Djsencere]

The bow has enough power to kill at 10 feet with broad head .. but I respect don’t hunt with anything less then 45lbs out of respect for larger animals

[@jamesbright657]

Also, this is the adjustment for draw LENGTH, not draw weight. Sorry to the creator of this instructional video, but not only is dangerous and misleading, it is incorrect. To adjust the draw weight, you need to turn the limb bolts one turn each (one on top and one on bottom)along with the notch adjustments for length. (Clockwise to increase, counter to decrease) MAX is 3 turns. I understand that most looking for this information probably are not very familiar with compound bows, but anyone posting instructional videos on bow adjustments should know how to adjust draw weight on a compound bow, especially pertaining to a youth bow which would have children trying to adjust their own bows incorrectly in a very dangerous way (please see my previous comment on how to hold pulley open for length adjustment)

[@grtexas4986]

So you only have to hold the pulley down for the length? And for the pounds you just turn the Allen screws left or right?

[@grtexas4986]

If that is the case I was totally Doing It Wrong. Thanks to this video.

Thank you, my wife threw away the packaging and I never would have figured this out..

[@dylandoesoutdoors9503]

Nice tips I have this bow

[@cocoloco65482]

At full draw, have someone to help and pass 2 of the thinnest or smaller allen, he keys to hold the draw and pulling tension. You'll be able to do it that way really easy. Have your helper to take out in inverse order the keys and you're done. It's dangerous to do it without help and some tools

[@jamesbright657]

Please DO NOT try to adjust the draw length with your thumb holding it drawn as it shows in this video. Even at only 20 lbs draw weight, you WILL cut the end of your finger if not your entire finger off, or at minimum do alot of damage that you will regret for the next couple of weeks. Your finger will slip, or you wont expect the amount of tension put on your finger trying to hold it. Draw the bow and take a screwdriver or Allen wrench or something similar and insert through the hole on one side to keep it drawn while you make the adjustment. You will thank me later (or be cussing yourself if you dont read this first)

Ya that happened to me im so mad right now

[@adamkaminski6988]

[@Emerald2276]

I ended up messing up my strings too. You need to put pressure again on the bow to make it loose and reapply the strings in the correct position. Good luck and be careful.

[@miguelvaledezvazquez4811]

@@Emerald2276 can you please explain and help I just got my bow and im really sad my strings are miss placed how do I fix them :(

[@CloudExile1]

[@ghulsem]

I cut the crap out of my thumb trying this method. Very dangerous.

[@ryanmonteverde4470]

I nearly ripped my whole thumb nail off.

[@conneraday43]

Don't hold with thumb I did and cut my thumb open

[@jimmymcmillan8233]

i almost cut my thumb open

[@tubeabq]

Be more careful next time

[@jamesbright657]

Glad you didn't.. This is why I just added my comment to hopefully keep someone else from doing irreparable damage to their thumb.

[@masonbennett8767]

I did it too im so mad

[@TheBitcoinBoomer]

I did exactly as they showed in the video and it worked perfectly. If you're having a problem doing it this way, or if you're a beta male, use some tools or ask a real man to help you.

[@jimmymcmillan8233]

@@TheBitcoinBoomer you must be a real badass

[@Djsencere]

Don’t try this please find a safer way then putting your thumb on the cam roller I’m 19 and I was trying this to adjust the strings and my thumb got ripped open really bad

[@kimspear6134]

[@tubeabq]

Any recommendations on a specific video? Because 4 years ago there's wasn't a how to video and the product didn't come with instructions.
