Hey guys,

I just wanted to share with you guys my experience with increasing the poundage of my bow and the effect to the arrow speed. After some changes were made to my bow, (new string, new loop and tuned) my bow was set to 58lbs and was shot through the crono. It was moving at 252 fps. I asked them to up the poundage to 62lbs. The arrow speed only increased to 254 fps.

So I increased the draw weight 4lbs and only experienced an increase of 2 fps.

Seems like the extra poundage isn't worth it. The guy at the shop said that this is exactly how it goes and went on to tell me that he doesn't understand why so many guys want to shoot 70lb bows.

I guess I expected the increase to be more significant.

Tom
