4 pounds will make absolutley no difference
mabey 10 feet per second faster
make a good shot with reliable broadheads
i would use muzzys
accuracy beats power any day
the famous hunter selous hunted and killed elephant with a 6.5 mm caliber
accuracy counts more

Oh yeah if you up you draw weight you will have to change you carbon arrows. You have to match everything your broadheads, your arrows and your IBO.

The draw weight won't matter that much after 55-60 pounds. Clay I would report this guy for copying your post. Good luck on the bear, I think I shot my first black bear at 55 pounds.

What's the max draw weight on your bow? When you get the carbon arrows buy some extra ones for practice and some to shoot in the field. The carbons are going to shoot a little different and you're using a heavier draw weight so you will have to do a fair amount of practice shooting to get everything wired.

I would say for a bear, you are fine at 63#. Four pounds won't make much of a difference. 63# is enough pull to take down almost any game animal. These days, bows are so advanced, that you dont need as much pulling power as you used to need. Definately use carbon arrows(if you arent already) if you are going to be hunting bear or elk.

The extra 4 pounds will help you. I cranked my bow an extra 8 pounds, sure it was harder to pull but acros the crony I didn't gain any addition feet per second to matter!

I would use the carbons, they're sturdier than wood or aluminum.
