Default RE: Time for a new bow - need some help.

Once you decide on a bow, I would humbly suggest that you choose a setup that maximizes down range momentum rather than initial arrow speed - i.e., shoot a heavier arrow than the conventional - something like 9 grains per pound of draw weight or more.

You will gain initial KE due to better bow efficiency. You will lose less KE due to less drag.

You will have more momentum at impact due to the above and due to greater initial momentum.

You will have an easier setup to tune and you will be able to shoot fixed, cut to the point broadheads due to the lower arrow velocity.
