I find that interesting since my position is exactly opposite of that. Personally, I've found that dropping down a few pounds for hunting purposes works better for me. I'm willing to give up some FPS for smooth draw and hold. Any jerky or extra movement caused by the increased draw weight is a negative IMO...

A simple test I run on myself every year prior to hunting season to determine if I'm pulling too much weight goes like this. I'll sit in a chair with my bow as if I'm in a treestand situation. I then point the bow down at an angletoward the floor as if a deer is approaching my "stand". I then draw straight back as smoothly as possible without any extra movement (ie raising up the bow). Once there, I'll hold for a minute or so. If I can't pull straight back from that position in a fluid motion or have trouble holding, the bow weight gets dropped down.

I suggest you give this siimple test a try. You might be surprised at the results.
