Default Knowledge competition for new guy.

So I am taking up this traditional archery thing and know nothing about it. So all of you old timers now have the chance of telling me everything you know on the topic. Here are a few questions and anything else you want to throw in there would be greatly appreciated. Also I am the kind of guy who likes to know why you do something rather then just do something because I am told it needs to be done. I hate doing something when I don't know what the purpose is.

1.) Do you unstring it or not? How often and Why?

2.) Why can't you use certain strings on an older bow? Like the Dyna Flight 97 or whatever it is called? Isn't a string a string?

3.) What is the difference between 3 and 4 feathers? What about broadheads? Will it affect the arrows flight if you use a wrong combination of head and feather?

4.) Do you pratice with broadheads or use field tips? If you use field tips how do you get the weight up to 8 grains/lb?

5.) And tell me EVERYTHING!!
