I would only increase your draw weight if you wanted more kinetic energy. You don't NEED to increase it, but I just like having the most KE my bow is capable of. If you end up increasing your draw weight, I would re-tune your bow. Especially if you change arrows and whatnot, just nice to know your bow is still tuned after changing something.
Hey sprayed, I personally like the carbon express maxima hunters. I just seem to shoot them the best. But I buy the blank shafts and put the bowhunting.com quick fletch vanes on them. They fly like darts. I would increase my bow weight only to the point that I can still draw it as smooth as possible. You do not want to have any type of pause in your draw. As far as broadheads they all do the job they are meant to do if you put them in the right place. I use the rage 2 blade they seem to be more forgiving for the slightly misplaced shots. But if you hit hard bone with it it will bend. Shot as much as possible from all different positions wearing the type of clothes you will wear to hunt. Shoot in low light and bright sunny days too. Practice does not make perfect but it does build confidence in your shooting abilities. Good luck and Welcome to your new home.
