Pronghorn setup?'s

Will be first year hunting pronghorn, and have a few ideas id like to run by all of you as far as setups go. First off, i know any bow thatll kill a deer will kill pronghorn, but my normal deer setup is a #55 Bear Montana with 160gr Snuffers on german pine shafts that were soaked in Watco Danish Oil (total arrow weight of 675gr), also use this setup for elk with a 160gr STOS in place of the Snuffer. I recently started playing around with Lodgepole Pine/Chundoo, and get what i feel is a little more "Range",  based on my normal way of shooting the heavier shafts instinctively. These shafts have  a finished arrow weight in the neighborhood of 555gr. It makes perfect sense to me that the 120gr difference in arrow weight would add a little distance to my normal comfort zone since its only about 20-25yds anyway    As the weeks go by will my instinctive shooting become more in tuned to the lighter weight arrows that push my range out around 30yds? I can visibly notice the flatter trajectory that these arrows have over my old standbys, if i can notice it i wonder how much gain  in speed im getting as the bow was never a screamer to begin with but then again it never let me down    Im also in the market for a good 145gr broadhead to tip these arrows with for pronghorn, im thinking the 145 Snuffers or Eclipse? Any suggestions or insight to my rambling would be great!

i think either of your setups will work fine.  personally, i like to try to keep things the same as much as feasibly possible just because im weak minded and dont like the switching, but thats just me.  25 yards is already pretty good range!

Yes, being an instinctive shooter ive always strived to keep things the same. My deer hunting is always done rom tree stands or makeshift ground blinds between 15-25yds. I began shooting the "Stumper" lodgepole shafts from 3Rivers and have noticed that after shooting a few groups of my old standbys, and then switching to my lodgepoles my groups are 3" higher at 20yds.
