Good point. Losing the wiskers is not an option for me. Quietness is of the utmost concern. Turning up the bow to 70# is an option but when I' m practicing or shooting 3-d I sometimes fire it 50 or 60 times. 70# would get a little difficult with that many reps. With only 9 days until the season opener here in Iowa, I' m going with this setup this year. I was just wondering about getting optimum performance out of my rig. What I mean by that is the fastest, flatest, arrow flight that will still give me complete passthoughs out to say 20 yards. The arrows I shoot now hit my layered target pretty darn hard and there is some drop off but my first pin is good out to 20 yards so I' m fairly happy with that. I appreciate all your help Matt. Thank you.
