RE: New Bow and Making the Switch to Carbons!
Jason--The arrows I'm using now are called Gold Tips Hunter XT's 7595. I know they're more than enough spine for my setup, but I like a stiff arrow for better penetration. I'm considering bumping mine up to 500+grns as well, mostly to give snuffers a try. They usually take a little more weight to tune and shoot good.
The drop-away rest just gets out of the way of your arrow upon release, therefore giving you total flething clearance. That's the number one problem that guys face when tuning their equipment. You'll just have to set it up so when you draw it's in the up position, and when arrow is released it drops completely out of the way towards the shelf of your bow. I'm sure the shop you're picking up your bow & accessories from can help out so you can setup your rest correctly. It's really pretty easy to get in the ball park in the shop, then take it home and fine tune it properly.
Call anytime in the evenings, I'll look forward to it!!-------------------------Paul
