How to increase draw weight - Barnett Outdoors Tomcat Jr Compound Bow

12 Crossbow Do and 3 Don ts

75 lbs to 125 lbs

Draw weights for hunting are considerably higher. Assistive devices are sometimes used.

Since you didn't say the manufacture or model I will just give general information that can cause problem. Most treadmills use a DC motor feed back system even through its plugged into an AC outlet. This allows user to control speed. As speed increases the unit draws a higher voltage DC which intern causes a higher amperage in your AC. So lets say yours is a 15 or 20 amp at 110v as you increase that speed it draws more ampage it causes more heat if the heat gets to hot it will shut down the unit. What can cause this if you use an extension cord of the wrong gage. If cord feels hot to or warm its to small. Friction between the belt and the deck. Their are waxes you can blow under the belt which reduce friction see the manufacters instruction. This will lower amp draw and keep unit running cooler. Weight of person has a very high effect on amp draw. Most treadmills have a weight limit. The higher the incline while jogging the more impact on belt and deck makes motor work harder causing unit to heat up. In otherwords anything that increases friction increases heat. You didn't say if new or older unit. Electronics wear with age and break down again mostly due to heat. So keep unit away from heat sources. Hope this helps.

Have you tried this site:

there are allenhead bolts on each limb that connect them to the handle frame. tighten these bolts evenly (one turn on one side should be matched with one turn on the other) this will increase the draw weight you are pulling

Generally, the draw weight is the amount of force to pull the bowstring to a certain draw length. The industry standard is measured in pounds at 28 inch draw length.

Compound bows have become much more popular among archer because they provide opportunities for many people to become proficient due to the reduced draw weight and ease of shooting. On the other hand, crossbows are increasing in popularity and help disabled shooters participate equally because of the comfortable horizontal shooting position.

This isthe amount of increase in weight as the bow is drawn. It occurs in all bows,but can be intensified in three ways. First, the bow may be too short for thedraw length. A longer bow could help this problem. Second, the ratio offiberglass weight or thickness should also be increased. Third, the moreradical the limb design the more the stack will increase. This means that at agiven limb length the bow weight, a more pronounced recurve design, will stackmore at full draw. The use of multiple tapers in a limb can also causestacking.

Make archery fun. Choose a bow draw weight that is comfortable, less than what you are capable of pulling. Many new archers become discouraged and quickly lose interest in the sport when the bow is so heavy that it is not fun to shoot, or when the bow is so heavy that accuracy is lost. Most states have a legal weight of 40-50 lbs

the motor that adjusts the weight is damaged or broken. replace or fix this motor and you will be done

No, not in practical terms.

To even go slightly faster the motor needs to draw far more current. That will shorten the motor life and dramatically reduce both the battery life and the distance between recharging. The power cabling might also need uprating.

So, with an uprated motor, cabling and battery, yes, it's possible but you'll get much less range and longer battery recharging times. But it all adds a lot of weight (so you'll need to uprate the wheels tyres and brakes as well) and won't get you much more speed as more and more of the energy you put into the system is used just to carry the weight of the system around and to overcome aerodynamic drag. The latter is really important: drag is roughly proportional to the square of the speed. So the power you need to travel at 20mph needs to increase by 400% to double your speed, but in reality it would be significantly more as all the extra weight and the additional cross-sectional area presented to the airflow also take their slice of the pie.

The only thing you can do in slightly impractical terms is to carry as little as possible on your bike, lose body weight, fit a lighter frame along with the skinniest profile road wheels and tyres you can get away with (but you get more punctures) and adopt the lowest and most aerodynamic riding profile you can. It still won't gain you much though, but will give you a noticeable increase in acceleration and a very modest increase in top speed.
