Hi Drew
Good to hear from you. Looks like you are pretty well set for fall hunting adventures. Switching from a compound to trad longbow is a tough learning curve, but it sounds like you’ve sorted it out well. I have owned /used hill style longbows in my past – classic way to go ( Stephen will be proud). Currently I shoot RD ( short) longbows – haha. A razor sharp broadhead from a finely tuned arrow is always what we want, more foc is good . This is especially true at close range ( less paradox better penetration). Your hunting style sounds made to order for tradbow. Closer is better – most of the time. I actually practice slooow smooth draw, so as to lessen spooking critters at these ranges.
I am not sure which arrow is going to be used with which bow but they sound excellent. I shoot in a similar weight class ( bows). I only have one bow using a wooden hunting arrow, for it I had to go up in spine ( from where you are) to get good tuned flight with the tuffhead (Tuffhead/ Meathead) are what I currently hunt with also). I am shooting almost the same gold tip set up you are for 2 of my bows and it works fine ( deer / javelina).
When you are successful- give us a full report.
