I wouldn't get the string loops, you can get more overall length and better quality ones online for under $5.  I would also select a different broadhead.  I like Magnus (stingers, buzzcuts, and snuffer ss) broadheads for their lifetime guarantee and excellent flight quality.

If you were to consider a different arrow, then you might want to look at GoldTips.  You can get a dozen XT Hunters fletched for less than $85 and they are very straight and durable.

My buddy has all the vanes and the stuff i need to fletch my own arrows.

The reason i am doing this now is i have 500$ in cabelas bucks and i can't really see anything else i really need. There is a 20 dollar off coupon and that would take care of half the tax, no shipping as i will go up there to get the stuff.

I didnt see the broadheads, those are basically crap, I liked the magnus when I shot them, I also love the shuttle T loc or the muzzy mx4  as far as arrows, gold tips are also crap IMO.. your arrow chioce is as good as it gets.. I shoot the same arrows

montec broadheads, a thumb release(who needs to try a release on when you can stick it in your pocket and just grab it when you need it) oh yeah go with the cabelas stalker extreme with quickspin vanes for a really accurate arrow, and a good target and some montec practice heads then you wont need field tips for practice, but other than that nothin wrong with it, actually nothin wrong with it as is im just suggesting products that ive used and had success with

Montec G5 or Stikers
Montec Peep...it's super light so you give up less speed using it.
Limb savers!!!
Make sure you have a good cable guide! Most do not come with a good one  ;)

Have Fun  :IBCOOL:

my reason being they are not made that well and are a cheap arrow... the strength tolerances are not what Id want them to be nor is thoer straightness rating.... they are good for your average  arrow

Looks like a decent setup to me.
The release isn't all that bad if you're on a budget. You'll do fine with that setup--in fact, I have a very similar setup I bought this August.

The lights out is a good little bow. Just keep the it really well waxed around the module/cams and watch the serving closely...the strings aren't the greatest. I've had zero problems with my lights out.

FWIW, though, the S-coil isn't much of a stabilizer. It's light, and very little weight at the end...it's simply for shock (which is very light on the lights out to begin with).
I left it better than I found it...did you?
I hunt animals because veggies are too easy to stalk.

neither is easton right now... I shot gold tips a while back did not like them, the pro shop I shoot for does not even carry them, and NO one I know shoots them... no pro shoots them, myself included.. there is a reason for that... easton IMHO makes by far the best arrows out there and I think my logical reasoning on why I dont like GT makes damn good sense

Thanks for the recomendations. I took a look at the montec cut on contact broadheads and i think i am going to change to those. I didn't intend for this thread to become a pissin match, just wanted a few different view points to my next purchase. Most likely will be made in the next few days.
Hoyt wich archery shop do you shoot for? When i was a kid i used to do all my archery shopping at Mer's, i bought my first bow there when i was 14 they let me put it on layaway and they let me shoot it in the shop as i was paying for it. I miss that place.

My intent was not a "pissin match" , all i wanted to see was if there was any testing behind his opinion, some testing maybe i hadn`t seen, that`s how we learn. He got upset, so be it.

FWIW, You made a wise decision on the broadheads.

I was not mad at all, of course there was testing, thus my point about strength tolerance and straightness rating... not to mention I have shot them before  and never liked them.. someone else was the one that came out with the smart ass comment about me being a pro staff shooter... also ther montec or shuttle T loc will give you the best thing to field point accuracy out there, as long as they are tuned of course

Man, there are some top shooters in the state that shoot goldtips.  There proseries gold labels are pretty darn good arrows, seems to be a lot of guys up this way that like them.
