I hear you about the oaks. It just seems that in my areas there are so many oaks that it is impossible to zero in on one a cluster of them. They are everywhere and many with acorns, many whites too.

I put on a drop away this year, trophy taker shakey hunter and have been very very happy with it. I just covered the whole thing with moleskin and it has been a great rest. I second all your thoughts about goldtips, love em. If you are having trouble finding them, I have had very good luck ordering from http://www.mountain-archery.com/
