Gain some speed
So I am looking to sell off my Tribute and pick up a General as my new hunting bow. I currently shoot My Tribute at 70 lbs and a 28" draw and a 350 gr arrow. With the General I will be losing a litlle speed 10-12 ft/s approx. Are there any tweaks I can make to the bow to gain some of this lost speed and energy?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ausie-guy,
I know that in the scheme of things it is really not that much but I do akot of moose / Elkhunting and I end up with alot of 40 yard shots so to me evry little bit of extra oomph I can get I want. So If you have any tips I would love to hear them. For deer all it is going to do is go through them a little faster.

Just to be clear. I don't think any of this is a good thing to do when shooting at 5 grains/lb, unless you add this weight to the arrow, and when you add weight to an arrow, you have to make sure it's stiff enough to handle it.
