increasing draw weight?

RE: increasing draw weight?
It should get you somewhere around 10 to 15 fps.There is alot of thing you can do to increase speed. Smaller lighter peep, string loop instead of metal nock, move string silencers as close to limb tips as possible, increase poundage, try going a 1/2 longer on draw length using a trigger forward style release.

RE: increasing draw weight?
Although you can add a few fps, it also changes the dynamic spine of your arrow. There is only one draw weight that is ideal for a particular arrow, at a particular arrow length, draw weight and draw length, shot out of a particular bow.
Ideally, draw weights are tuned to the spine of the arrow, not to a need for maximum speed. For example, if your arrow spine is borderline or weak, such a change could make accurately shooting broadheads, much more difficult. If you're not shooting broadheads, then it isn't quite as critical for the average archer.
