Default RE: regret going to 70lbs?

Guys I called my pro shop tonite and talked with my pro shop buddy and quizzed him on this 60-70 lb issue. He says that a 70# bow has to shoot the heavier arrow than the 60# bow so the two are basically equal in speed.He agrees that you don't gain any speed shooting a 70# bow with 350's over a 60# shooting 400's. He also said that he feels that a Mathews performs better at peak weight but that with a Hoyt it doesn't matter. He said that I am not gaining anything with my 70# setup thatI couldn't achieve with my bow turned down and shooting the lighter arrow. He said that where the heavier bow poundage and heavier arrow shine is on bigger game such as moose, elk,caribou, and Africa game, so since I am going moose caribou and bear hunting in New Foundland next year to stick with my setup. What are your feelings on this?
