Draw weight
« on: Oct 02, 2016, 05:32:20 PM »
Right now I'm shooting around 55lbs with mechanical broadheads and I know I can shoot higher and my arrows should handle higher. Is it worth increasing to 65lbs? And how much different should arrows shoot in terms of accuracy

You honestly won't gain a whole lot going up 10lbs. Maybe 5-8fps. Yes your bow will shoot a little different once you increase the poundage. It should just shoot high compared to your previous pins.

 It should increase since the arrow is being shot with more force but by how much I'm not sure.

You wont find much difference going from 55 to 65 lbs. Your speed will go up a little and your ke but you'll still be shooting the same size arrow. The only thing you'll gain is your bow will shoot slightly flatter. It's more of a matter of your preference from 55 to 65. I used to shoot 65 but dropped down to 58 because I found it easier to draw the bow back on those long cold sits in nov.
