Hi Again,

Well I've got my bow and I've followed most of your advice.  I practice
at least once a week.  I've got it all sighted in and I can put all the
arrows inside the red ring at 30 yards and in the blue at 50 yards.  I got
a release and that made one heck of a difference-thanks for that guys.

I am about to buy some broadheads.  The season begins in just over two
months and I want to be sure and have them and shoot them a time or two
so I know how they shoot.

I have more questions.  Given that the weight is the same, e.g. 125 grains,
will the broadhead's design affect the arrow's flight.  Is there a "best"
design in your opinion?  Is there a brand/type/style to avoid?

May the wind be in your favor.

BTW when last I asked for advice it was about stabilizers.  The consensus was
that they were more for target shooting.  I found-as one person suggested-a
looser grip on the bow eliminated the twist and subsequent low-left tendency.
I decided against getting a stabilizer-less weight.  Where I plan to hunt is
at 4500' and up so the less weight the better.
