What a great gesture Joe! I personally was looking forward to seeing you respond to this post.

Scott I think the number one thing here is how you want it to go down. I go through the same mental struggle every summer before archery deer season starts. Just how primitive do I want to hunt? How far do I want to go? My usual answer is: I love wooden bows and that's good enough for me no matter what shafting or head I carry along with me.
I think arrow weight is irrelevant and over-touted. If your around 9-12 gpp, you are good to go anywhere in our great country.

Thank you, Joe for taking the time to respond to my post. I appreciate the perspective gleaned from your years of hunting and hope to benefit from all of y'alls opinions! I have been shooting the heavy arrows (760 gr) for a couple months, but I'm leaning more toward the 560 gr arrows for their enhanced performance. Even though they are lighter they shoot flatter, have smaller diameter, and still fly cleanly from this bow so I believe they will penetrate just as well with a sharp hunting point. Also, you have talked me into using my stone points (wasn't a hard sell) my biggest concern being general fragility during transport. What quiver do you use? I will have a day pack on my back so a back quiver is not ideal.
Joe, I would love to stop by for the night, but it doesn't look like my route will go your way. If something changes I'll let ya know.
Stringman:
I believe you've nailed it, Chris. Whatever limitation I put on myself is the level to which I will perform. I believe I drawn my line, now just need to train for it and practice self discipline.
PEARL DRUMS:
Something tells me you will do just fine my friend ;)
