Welcome to the bowhunting community man! I love bow hunting, I find it alot more fun than rifle (more challenging and gotta get closer to the game). Ive been using my same martin bow for about 15 years. As long as you feel comfortable with the bow you have and take care of it, you can use whatever bow you like. If you get the chance i would say experiment with different arrow weights and releases, find the one that you feel the most comfortable with. It look me a while to find the right arrow for me but when you do you will know it. As you already know im sure all different arrows and arrow weights all react differently so find the one that best suites you and your bow and stick with it. Once again welcome and good luck!
