30" is not a draw weight, it is a draw length. It is the length of the draw from the bow to the string when the bow is drawn.
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.
"Draw weight" is a measure of the strength required to draw a bow as well as the force it imparts on the arrows it shoots. It is usually measured in pounds.
yes. it weakens the limbs and reduces draw weight. best to unstring the bow while in storage.
when you have let off on your bow, when you pull it back depending on the bow you will have anywhere from 50% to 80% let off, which means if your bow is a 70 lbs pull draw weight and you have 50% let off then you are only holding 35% of the draw weight. now if your bow has 80% let off then your holding only like 18 20 24 % of the draw weight.
Limb bolts are small components on a compound bow that are used to adjust the amount of draw weight. By tightening or loosening the limb bolts, the tension in the limbs is altered, which in turn changes the draw weight of the bow.
IM pretty sure i have the same bow.
Crossbows are usually a higher draw weight because a person of the same strength can wield a stronger crossbow because they can use legs as well as arms when bracing a crossbow, wheras a bow uses only the arms to draw.

It depends on the draw weight of the bow, and the weight of arrow you use
What you really need to find out is how fast the projectile will leave the arrow. The projectile's MASS (not its weight) and the force with which the bow pushes it can help you calculate the acceleration (using Newton's Second Law), but that's really insufficient information - you also need to know for how long the bow pushes the projectile, using the given force.
80 pounds is a very low draw weight for a crossbow and a very high draw weight for a standard bow
