I don't do the tournament thingy anymore. In fact, I haven't done it in about 25 years or something like that. BUT, even then my tournament rig was my hunting rig. I shot tournaments ONLY to be sharp for bow season. Dumbing down has never been a problem for me.(wait a minute..... that might not sound like what I meant it to sound like[&:]) OK, back to the point.I always have shot heavy arrows, heavy FOC and all that(a throw back to my recurve days) So, are you dumbing down for tournaments or dumbing up for hunting? You can do it all with the same setup unless you really feel the need for speed with your hunting rig. I don't think they'll allow all that speed at your tournaments. I prefer to call it Dumbing UP for tournaments with my same old gear I used all fall.
