    Without changing the draw length or poundage, will a new "high speed" upgrade string and cable affect the point of aim?

    If it matters, the bow is a Diamond Razor Edge, set for a 23" DL (I'm deformed) and 60# DW.

    Thank you in advance. :)

    I think your point of aim will change, but mostly from setting up a new peep and nock/d-loop. Will be difficult to get it exactly the way it was before. The tune will also probably change slightly since the old strings were likely stretched towards the end of their life.

    Old strings are definitely stretched. I had to have the shop put an extra 3/4 to 1 1/4 turns on the string to stop the peep from twisting. :(
    Hopefully the new string and cable will arrive next week. :)

    I would count on having to spend some time sighting everything in again. As long as your not in a big rush it can be fun. Best of luck to you

    UPDATE:
    New string and cable are installed. :)

    Draw weight changed from a scaled 60.1 maximum to a scaled 61.8 maximum. :)

    Sighting it back in is a pain, but expected.
