Valentine, for a part time archer you have your ducks in a row. Speed in archery has it's place, on the 3-D range. For hunting, I agree with you on a quiet, well tuned bow that's deadly accurate. Many of the products developed today are to quite noisy bows. Had the archer chosen a medium cam with the correct arrow weight, the noise problems would be minimal and there would be no need for MECHANICAL broadheads because you could tune the arrows with fixed blades.
