I'm switching from muzzy 3 blade to nap thunderhead 125 this year, I've got them flying like darts ton 40 yards. I might try mechanicals in the future but these thunderheads are really impressing me by how they fly and penetrate my targets.
I got a trophy ridge static 6inch ( which is closer to 8 inches) on clearance for like 15 dollars. Comes with para cord wrist sling and 2 weights you can mess with on the front.

Every few hundred shots, best thing I've ever bought is a bow sling which protects the string when carrying my bow. Mostly
Only use it while dark out though.
I just plain don't trust mechanicals, I use muzzy 3 blade with no issues now however I've considered trying qad exodus and g5 montec when I get the $. But right now 6 heads for 30 Dollars is hard to beat on My budget.
I second the field and stream boots as long as your not walking through too much water, Theycan get a little heavy when wet but always warm, I have 800s
Had a doe run right Ito my driver side mirror 2 years ago, thought she was coming in the window! This was early November so she was prolly being chased. Got out of car and she jumped up and ran off with a yearling.
