Changing limbs on Vortex

Is is practical and or safe to change from the stock 200 pound limbs to heavier poundage limbs. I am new to crossbows so I am probably gonna ask you veterans a lot of questions. Thanks for your advice and patience.

The 200 lb bows have the same limbs as the 225 lb bows. The stroke is where the power comes from.

I wouldn't change a thing if you could. Vortex is a well rounded tack driver. I miss mine

Yep all the standard excals have the same limbs the length of barrel determines the draw weight. Same limbs on both matrix bows, 380 has a longer barrel than the 355

If I could have only one bow (gasp)it would be my Vortex. Shot faster bows (even own one) but none that are more dependable, accurate and deadly.

Thanks for the responses. Only thing I plan on changing is the string when it needs it.

Been tinkering with Broadheads and have found that the 125 NAP Killzones are more accurate than the 100's. I am shooting the Carbon Express Red Hott bolts. Using the practice blades and they shoot great.

I have shot several other types of crossbows but I am yet to find one that I can work on in the field being that the others all have cams on them and more than one string. Accuracy is unbelievable with my Vortex.
