Bow/Arrow Setup

[Jkuhn22]

Interesting that's good to know. So in theory if I adjust draw weight but keep grains/lb the same, there wouldn't be a need to adjust sights?

Yes that is the theory. I heard this from Joel Maxfield with Mathews. Going for heavy pull on elk to sitting in a cold tree stand is tough. Lowering the draw weight is a must, but who has time to do another sight in.

I'm just whitetail hunting in Ohio so I guess I'm alright.

It’s a guideline, you are close at 6.3 grains on the 63 lb bow. I would no problem with that on a deer, but will go a bit heavier for elk.

In your opinion, if I were to increase arrow weight to the 420-450 range, what method would you recommend? Obviously, the easiest way is to go from a 100g to 125g broadhead. Or heavier insert but broadhead change is the simplest. Of course going to a 300 spine would also increase. Any significant pros/cons to either strategy or would it just be a matter of preference?

I'm trying to sort out what is fact vs opinion on this stuff and a lot of people in forums and what not have a hard time identifying what is fact and what is opinion
