Default draw weight

Will increasing my draw weight totally change my sights distance? Example if your bottom pin is 10 yards will it change?

Also when does the arrow cross your sites the 2nd time after being released from your bow? about how far out?

Default RE: draw weight

Your point of impact (POI) will not change unless you significantly change your draw weight, IE 10 lbs plus. You will shoot a little faster with an extra 5 lb adjustment, but not enough to notice. You will notice the POI changing at longer distances though.
