Anyway I am shooting, my greatree deer master 55#@28, with Beeman ICS bowhunters, with 100 grain brass inserts, and 100 grain thunderheads.  The only difference between my set up is the broadhead, I use 100 grain stinger 2 blades for deer.  And I leave the bow alone, but during turkey I switch broadheads and I cover the limbs with some homemade leafy covers
