Default RE: Carbon VS. Alluiminum

Sniper, who you calling a speed freak? Wanna meet in the alley and settle this? Seriously, I am one of those speed freaks, but I don understand that a bow must be whisper quiet and very user friendly (easy to draw) when hunting. I always look for that compromise between speed and quiet, with the edge going to quiet. I am coming to the realization the last couple years that speed for most hunting situations is worried about too much. You just don't see much difference in trajectory between 240fps and 280fps at 20-25 yards. And I have bows that do both these speeds.

From a personal standpoint my bow doesn't stay tuned from year to year. I rarely have a bow much longer than that, but if I do then I'm always playing around with it anyway. I change things often to see what new and what works, and how it works with what results. I'm constantly shooting my bows and tuning and tinkering. Lody Be, I had 8 different drop away rests on my new bow this year just to try them. When crunch time came and I wanted a hunting setup I just bolterd on the old "tried and true" Star Hunter. You know---KISS. And another thing I usually do that is opposite of what many do is that I shoot all year long, and when it gets down to hunting I tuen my bow DOWN a few pounds. I may be a speed freak, but I'm not a KE dude. These are deer we hunt here, not cape buffalo.

Anyway, now that I know you were kidding about the .375 thing I can relax. I also notice you live pretty close to me. Something like 30 miles. Do you belong to Hemlock? Do you shoot the 3D Winter League?
