The arrow should be 90 degrees (right angle) to the string. [. . . ] The best way to adjust the Tigers draw weight is to put it in a bow press to compress the limbs.

The knot closest to the upper wheel is #10, the center knot is #15, and the knot the furthest away from the upper wheel is the 20# setting.
