Default bows...shooting question

I havent shot a 3-d meet in 10 years or so.

i normally shoot 45-50lbs bows...at 20 yards...but i recently picked up a CM longhorn at 56# and it zips an arrow pretty good..... i notice im more consistant with my elevation with this bow...and when im off a bit its left or right by a hand or so....

with my 45# Attila when im off its usually up and down.

i notice that im more consistant with my 56# bow and ive only had it for a few weeks.
now i know that the bows are 2 different bows but with the CM Attila wich is 45# im missing up and down so its not a form problem its an aim problem.

with the Longhorn its left and right so im doing something with my wrong with my wrist...i can tell when i release when its good or bad...so i need to just keep shooting that bow a little more...i know how to fix it...i just have to be conscious of it when im shooting.

I guess my question is do you guys notice that you are more accurate with higher poundage bows??? What Poundage do the better 3d guys shoot???? Im thinking i might want to try a bow in the 60-65 lb range. Im comfortable with the 56lbs. and i think 60 would not be a problem. what made me really want to try a higher poundage was seeing some footage of Ricky Welch and how flat that arrow was out of his bow...and just how accurate he was with it.
