Draw length[/align][/align]3. Arrow weight (include the total weight along with your hunting head)[/align][/align]4. String accessories. Number of nocks, string loop (style), silencers, type of peep sight, etc, etc. [/align][/align]5. Brand/model of yourbow along with theadvertised IBO speed of your bow.[/align][/align]6.
