Default RE: increasing poundage

thanks for the help guys. I am just trying to increase her poundage a little at a time to help her flatten the tracjectory of her arrows out and give her a little more margin of error when judging at the 3-d tourneys. right now if she miss judges by 2 yards her arrow drops 4 inches which puts you out of the 10 ring. she is pulling 35lbs. I cranked her bow 2 full turns. as long as she can pull and hold it comfortably I will increase her bow a turn at a time. she shoots very well for no longer than she has been shooting 1 month. her selena at 23.5 inches with a 291 gr arrow, 35lbs shoots around 173 fps. I was trying to get her to 40lbs and maybe a lighter arrow. I have her shooting a gold tip 3555, blazer vanes, and 65 gr fp's. I was thinking of trying a goldtip 600. this would shave another 35 grains or so for her. Any suggestions??
