    I'm thinking of turning down my bow. I currently pull around 70lbs. with a draw length of 31" How do I determine how far I can turn down my bow and continue to shoot the and size arrows and broadheads? Making sure I have enough KE?

    Look at the arrow chart for your arrows. You can find it on the manufactures website.

    I would shoot broadheads at about 30 yards as I backed it off to check arrow flight. if the arrows are flying true when you get down to the weight you want, I think you'll be all set. I've used the same arrows from 50-65 pounds with fixed broadheads and they've flown fine.
