Default RE: Change poundage?

ORIGINAL: ICALL2MUCH

OK guys,

Last weekend I shot a nice doe at 20 yards. Complete pass-thru double lung.

I've been thinking of turning the poundage up on my Hoyt. Is it as easy as it sounds? Just turn to the right using the correct allen wrench? The reason for the change would be to get a couple more FPS on those 30 yard shots, if they present themselves.
Also, if I change the poundage, I know it will mess with my sights, a bit. But, tuning wise, it shouldn't change anything, should it?

Thanks!

if you increase your poundage you WILL have to retune ,
just remember to turn each limb bolt exactly the same amount.

and the answer about the arrows is correct ,
you mayrun intosome underspined issues
if you arrows are already spined well at the poundage you are currently shooting .

you could go to ligher arrows to gain some fps
but you may loose some KE.


just my .02
