Mathews Switchweight mods and tuning

Does changing to a mod with a different letoff or draw length but keeping the same draw weight affect the tuning of the bow? For instance if I want to shorten my draw length by a half inch and lower my letoff by 5%, but I just got my bow setup and tuned, will it throw anything off? Probably a dumb question but not really familiar with how these mods work, hoping someone that is can help me out.

I have had to retime on my trx with different letoff mods but not with dl changes
I have changed my vertix weight dl and let off and not had to retime
any time you change a mod spec you should plan on re tuning and retiming you may get lucky and not have to
and yes a change in timing or dl can affect a cable driven rest so make sure you check it

Yes. Re tune every time you make a change. Better safe than sorry.

How feasible is it to have a hunting setup tuned to shoot fixed broadheads at say 75#, but still have a reasonably good tune for 60# mods shooting a (lighter) target arrow?

I assume matching arrow OD and playing around with tip weight would be the best way to match things up.

Might be a good reason to go to a limb driven rest too…

I went from 70 down to 55 now at 65 while I worked my torn bicep back up. I kept draw length and let off the same. Arrow and tip weight also unchanged the only real difference was poi high or low with my lift left and right did not shift for me. I got new strings and cables and I screwed another 20 grains into the front of my arrow for hunting setup, that was the first time I had a left or right movement in my sight.
