There.... problems solved.... you're welcome... I also fix cars over the internet.....



No seriously, there is no way of knowing if the hypothitical unknown arrow you buy tomorrow is going to fit the hypothetical unknown bow of 2011. I'm sure you could make the bow match the arrow... but its usually better to do it the other way around.

You need to solicit the services of a pro-shop.

Much better to get the bow first. I made that mistake. I bought all my accessories and then the 82nd and I don't think I have a single one of them on my current setup. It is super expensive if you make that mistake.

As far as number 2 goes....did you try to tune it? You may just have to make a little rest adjustment and it could make all the difference in the world. Also check to see if your fletchings are hitting your string or rest on their way out. As far as number 1....I agree....it depends. Not saying this will fix it....but it could help.

Walk back tuning, paper tuning, any of the basic rest adjustment tuning styles. They are strewn all across this forum...I will see if i can find you a link to one.
