Carbon arrows are pretty much the norm now days. As far as bows are concerned everybody will have a different opinion, I shoot the mathews switchback xt but i dont think mathews has come up with a "epic" bow since the xt. I did get a chance to shoot the pse evo and revenge at a archery shop about a month ago and i can say that pse has come a long way!! Your best bet is to go and shoot different bows and see which one floats your boat. Broadheads all depend on the shooter, i feel that all of them will kill, it just depends on which style you like best. I shoot the muzzy 3-blade because they group and fly nice out of my bow and they are cheap and they simply work. Hope this helps. good luck !
