I agree. The gains in trajectory that come with a little more speed (or a little less arrow weight) aren't very significant.

If you're not getting 60 pounds then check your axle to axle length and brace height. If axle to axle length is longer than spec, or if the brace height is lower than spec, or both, your string and/or cables have elongated and need to be adjusted. Or replaced.

You should be able to as long as you have a bow that doesn't change poundage with changes in draw length.

I'm no speed freak either. I actually went up in arrow weight recently, trading a little trajectory for a little more penetration and a quieter bow.

Im with you. Id trade speed for penetration and quieter bow any day. That, in my opinion, is whats important.
