Default Will It Help?

I have a Mathews Switchback. I bought it from a guy and the draw length is maxed out and also the poundage is maxed out at 60 lbs. I wanted to switch out the cam to lengthen my draw length an inch or so. I was wondering if this will increase my poundage even if the bow's poundage is already maxed out. Thanks!

Changing your cam will not increase your poundage, but changing your cam to increase you DL will increase your speed. You say you want to change the cam to increase your DL an inch or so, so I am guessing it is too short for you right, so changing the cam and getting a correct DL will greatly increase your accuracy.

I'm not entirely sure on this, but I think on some models depending on what cam you get you might have to change your string or cable as well, not just the cam. I could be all wet on this since I have never owned a mathews, but I could swear I read it somewhere before.

Changing the cam does not change the Lbs on the bow. You will get more speed because of the longer draw.

Ya sorry about that I worded it wrong........I meant would it give me more speed. But as you guys say it should so hopefully it will give me some more speed.
