If i increase the draw weight of a bow, do i need to re-sight it in?

Yes, but it should be minor adjustments depending on your arrow and the amount of weight increase.

If your arrow speed increases then it is going to change your point of impact.

Left Right- Should not move. But up down and pin spacing could change. Also will depend on what sight you use, how accurate and tuned you and your rig are as well.

To add to what has been said, your spine reaction will change. If your point of pace is severely thrown off, then you will need to go up a spine

If you change anything, it changes EVERYTHING.

IMO.... if you are only changing the draw weight 3 to 5 lbs, this will only change the arrow point of impact a very small amount out to about 25 yards. Beyond that, you might need to make slight adjustment to your pins.

A 10+ lb change, will require you to sight in your bow. Also, you should probably check your arrow flight by checking the "paper tunning".
