ok, still a rookie deer hunter after 5 years and a cherry bow hunter...only t hing i've taken a shot at is a target bale.

My wife bought me a PSE when i graduated college, so it's 4 years old. we were tight on money then, so I got what we could afford, but hey...i know alot of guy's wifes where they won't get 'em that kind of stuff! she bought me a Springfield .45 auto right before we got married!
Got it at the only pro shop in town, so went with what they said to: 29 inch draw, 58lbs draw, 100 grain Shockwaves, used the factory rest and sights, with aluminum 2216s

since, i've upgraded to a whisker biscuit rest, with a Trophy Ridge sight (which I love) and i have her shooting decent. but..as you can guess, I don't have the riproaring speed most of you do. I like my bow, and can't really think it's worth the $500 plus it would take to buy a brand new one. I plan to, after this season,switchto a Magnus fixed blade. but i have this question: should i...would you...switch to carbons...if so..how do i read the charts?!?! do i need to change my biscuit?

i'm not above gearing up next off season. the pro shop here only sells one kind of carbon shaft (i don't remember which) and i'd love to learn to fletch, cut and make my own, u know personalize and put more effort into my payoff. so i realize a high speed saw, fletching tool, etc..so the start up expense is there. at first i may pack up to fort worth cabelas or something and buy arrows there.

but...after a long caffine induced post (grad school bites) would you take the time, expense and set up time to change to carbons?i realize alot of the congregation shoots carbon, but I just wanted to know if you made the switch and it was ok or would u do it again, or was it the best thing since sliced white bread?

thanks for the time, and the gang here has really helped my enjoyment of this sport...
