OK, first off use cat whiskers. They dont loose as much speed as people say they do. Actually i didnt loose any speed. Leeches are good but u have to change them. The rest, if its for the draw that makes noise, put mole skin on the fins(assuming its a TM style rest). And, shoot carbons. enough said. as for what kind, thats kind of a preference. I shot three different types before settling on some, and im gettin ready to switch again. Try Bemans. And another thing, use feathers. Theres so many advantages that outweigh the disadvantages. Plus, they look cool. (in case you havnt figured out, bowhunting is all about the look. We never shoot anything, we just say we do to make us LOOK even better. LOL, jk) Hope this helps.
