I was not talking speed by the way, I was talking more about how well the bow shoots overall, not how fast. Maybe I missunderstood your question. It may very well be that they store energy better maxed out, but technically it should not make a difference if all else is equal, like draw and brace height. I doubt if the gain is anything significant. How much of an increase in speed did you see when you tried this?

Another thing that might mess that up is some assume that a 70 lb bow will be 70 lbs maxed out, that's not alway the case. I have seen some that maxed out at 75 lbs. It is also pretty hard to read those bow scales accurately. They could be 2 or 3 lbs off from bow to bow.
