Default Bow Poundage Opinion

I am going to buy my new Grim Reaper Razortip broadheads this week and I see that they have them in the new 1 3/4 in size. I am shooting a Hoyt Trykon XL at 57 lbs. and have currently been shooting the 1 3/8 in. razortips. Do you think that with this setup I would be fine upgrading to the new larger size or is it a safer bet staying with the 1 3/8? Plz let me know what you think.

I don't really think it matters that much bro. If you have had good luck with the razor tips then you'll likely have the same with the new ones. If you hit bone with either you are sunk the same.... so it really doesn't make a rip of difference in my opinion.

I agree with Swamp, out of your Tryk, your fine.

I do have a question, what's your arrow weight?

Its the Easton St Epic 400s so im not really sure i think it says 400s are 8.6 gpi. Im not very technical or knowledgable on all of that. Im kind of new to the sport. This will be my fourth season. I also live in PA.
