no! it is more important that the draw weight be comfortable to you. however if you use a 70 pound draw, the arrow will travel faster, straighter and with more force(better penetration).
It depends upon your ability to draw & hold the bow, and what you plan to hunt with it.
If you can hold at full draw for 8-10 seconds without fatigue or shaking then you are in good shape. I always thought that heaver draws were better but then realized by using lighter arrows I was able to mock the heaver ratio of more weight. You so lose some kenitic energy down range but if you have a shot within 20 yards it really won't matter. Most clean kills are within this range anyhow.

Use the IBO standard of 5grains per pound. Regardless of shaft size/length, you need to have the proper balance between your insert, tip/point, vanes and knock.
70lb draw X 5gr. = 350gr finished arrow weight (Shaft, insert, point, vanes and knock).

∙ 13y agoAs the poundage implies, the bow doesnt go this low. But, if you did loosen the limbs up to said poundage, only a small amount of the bolt holding the limb on will be in the bow. This may cause the limbs to be town out of the bow when drawn, resulting in serious injuries.

How do you adjust the draw weight for a jennings forked lightining compound bow?
The draw weight should be marked on the bow. You cannot go any higher than the marked draw weight unless your bow has removable limbs, then you could buy limbs with a higher draw weight. You will ruin the bow if you use it with a higher draw rate.
How much draw weight does a recurve bow have?
The answer to that question will change depending on what type of recurve bow and for what purpose you will be shooting. For example, if you are hunting and are planning to kill a large animal, you will likely want a recurve bow with over 50lbs of draw weight. If you shoot with less weight than this, you may only injure the animal and that would be cruel. Bows with over 50lbs of draw weight are more difficult to pull back and hold steady, therefore the accuracy of your aim will be reduced. If on the other hand you want to shoot targets and need to be as accurate as possible, such as in a field archery competition, you will want a draw weight that is under 50lbs. In fact 30 - 40lbs would be a likely choice. This will allow you to hold more steady on the draw and line up your target. The lower weight will be acceptable as all you need to do is reach your target, not kill it. Please note, this is in regard to recurve bows only, not compound. That's a whole other world.
What is a draw weight in archery?
the draw weight is how much strength it takes to pull it back which is equal to how much force is put into the arrow. so basically pulling back a 50 lb draw weight bow is equally as hard as lifting a 50 lb sack with one arm
