    Hey
    You guys are pro's compaired to me, However I love to shoot Bows just as much. I have a PSE Nova (older model due to a new house and new baby girl) Its is what I can afford at the moment. it is marked 55# but has been adjusted to 62# which is 2# over stated maximum. I have been shooting aluminum Easton GameGetters in 400g for years and resently purchased a set of gold tip 400g hunter xt in black carbon. I am also using the quick fletches and the Montec 100g preseason broadheads to get on target. with the Alum arrows I am right on target and see a drop at 30 yards, but with the Gold tips it is about 6" above target and no drop is seen at 30 in fact its like a laser compaired to the other arrows. My best friends bow is some new 900$ mathews solocam monster bow and he doesnt see a diference between the two. The GT's in my bow are quicker/flatter/ more accurate, but generally running to the left of the target and sinking themselves into the target at least 4" deeper. from this I will deffinately be using these to hunt with and can assume to pick up 10 yards easily as well as deeper penetration. I would have never thought this could happen in a million years. Now I need a Range finder.
