thanks Bees, i am still in the infancy of my bowhunting career and still looking for the right combinations of things. not necessarily looking for a shortcut, just trying to figure out what works and what doesnt.

... learn to hit what you are aiming at up to your maximum range (which only you can know.)
that statement is what has me questioning all of the arrow related issues. How do i know when my "proficiency" extends beyond my bow's effective range. Sure I could practice everyday and be able to lob arrows into the bull at 100 yards, but what good is that if the arrow isnt carrying enough energy to drop the deer.
my arrow carries X ft-lbs of energy at launch, how do i estimate how much it is carrying at different ranges? do i need to set a chrono up in front of the target at each yardage and take speed measurements?
my engineering background is starting to show through, am i completely overanalyzing this?
thanks again, i think i need to give my brain a rest and just go shoot
