    I have successfully sighted in my bow and circle 4 pinned sights. My question is, if I now begin to up or down the
    pound-age, will that effect the aim, my technique withstanding? Thanks in advance. Bow in question is a Mission Riot.

    Depends on how much adjustment but generally every adjustment you make to the bow will affect the accuracy.

    Will effect it a little bit. A half or maybe even full turn 1 way or the other may not really make a noticeable difference but anything above that you will start noticing. Also, depends on how much a turn is for your bow to. Some bows are just 1 or 2 pounds a turn others are 4 or 5. Just give it a shot and see.

    Yes, it will change poi. It may not change the actual gap that much you will need to move the whole housing a slight bit to correct poi.

    The big thing is a slight difference in one limb over the other(tiller) can change poi drastically.

    the more powerful or weaker the more it will shoot high or drop low
