Default Aggrevation

I put Limbsavers string leaches on my bow when the string got changed out, I'm not talkin about a minor change,
We are talking about a major change in the speed and drop of my arrows at 30 yards....
Without them, I was shooting an arrow weighing about 530 gr. Just fine
I'm not about to buy all new arrows, if I just drop the weight on my tips from 125 to 85 gr, will that help my speeds out at all?

I would suspect that your change in impact is a result of the string change not decreased speed. Do you have access to a chrono?

If his strings are made to specs then the change is probably due to the fact that your older strings were longer from creep. The draw length was longer and the weight was higher. With new strings the draw length being shorter there is a shorter power stroke. That, coupled with a slight poundage loss will obviously make the bow slower.

BUT, how do you actually know it's slower? Without a chronograph it's hard to tell. If your arrows are hitting lower it may just be that the nocking point is a tad higher. Any time you make major changes such as strings you really should completely retune the bow.

There may be nothing at all wrong with the strings you have. You're likely to find the same results with any new strings.

you should not lose that much speed from the leaches.
