I think there is a "Best" of everything.  Only problem is my best and your best are two entirely different things....

And until I try everything out there, every bow, every arrow combination, every broadhead, etc., etc., and then try them all again 3 or 4 times to make sure I remember it all correctly, it is hard for me to figure out what my own "Best" might be.  And it will still have no impact what-so-ever on what is Best for you!

Confused?  Just buy a new bow.  And arrows.  And broadheads......
It's good for our sponsors!  ;)

Whenever I see the threads about which is best, or what should I try, I think of an old story about George Armstrong Custer.  Custer was a young officer early in the Civil War and was one of a group of officers with a couple of generals who were debating about the difficulty of getting their troops across a river, trying to estimate its depth.  Custer listened to the discussion for awhile, then rode his horse out to the middle of the river and called back, "Sir!  This is how deep the river is!"

In other words, don't talk about it... try it!

I'm pretty sure that what I shoot is about the best there is. However, when I look back I remember when aluminum was best, and it was until I discovered carbon. Then I can remember that Groves Dyna stressed limbs were best until I discovered foam cored carbon laminated ILF limbs and a short machined metal riser to which they were attached. I can remember when white and/or chartreuse feathers were best because they were easy to see in flight and then i discovered Lumenoks. I can remember when everyone thought heavy braodheads were bad...now they are the best, really, they are much better. I can remember that shooting off the shelf was best until I found some of my old rests and berger buttons and then re-discovered how accurately I could shoot.

I think that what I  have learned is that on open mind is best because as soon as you think something can't get better you can turn a corner and because of the blinders you have on you miss out on something that might make you better.
