If you had to buy a bow...

I would look real hard at elite and will when I am ready for a new bow.  Met the owner and the local rep the other day, pretty impressed with the talk and the product.  Just not ready to upgrade just yet.

You can shoot the elite at sportco in Fife, I am also waiting, I need to draw my muzzy quality tags first. Then it's archery all the way.

:yike:Oh man, I better stay the heck away!! Is it there camo sale??

[Seahawk12]

It's their annual tent sale.  I couldn't swear to the camo right now but it's been on sale for the last month or so. I think their clearing it out for next years models. I can tell you that the 24th and 25th are the "Bowtech Days" at Sportco. So, there should be some decent prices on them.

I found a sale on the carbon overdrive might be worth checking out.

OK, a very lightly used Hoyt Vector 32 should be on the doorstep in a couple days. Whisker Biscuit Kill Shot and Spot-Hogg Right On sight are also on the way. Is there a way to measure arrow length without having an arrow to draw back and mark? Do I just take it to a shop and have them measure and then cut arrows? The only bows I've owned have been package deals, so I never had to deal with this. Also, what about stabilizers? Necessary? Recommendations?
Thanks

Take it to your bow shop of choice. They will set you up with the proper length arrows. Leave it long enough that you don't draw a broadhead back into your bow hand. (Don't be that guy!) Ask if you can "try out" a few different stabalizers and see if you prefer one. Most of us do. It really allows you to use proper form/grip when partnered with a wrist sling. There are a lot more knowledgeable folks then myself on here but this should get you well on your way.

 Sounds good. Thanks.

   Other than being an eye sore the biscuit still remains as one of the best "Hunting" rests on the market.  I sort of like the older ones better than the newer ones.  But both are reliable. 

I started work on a new micro adjust hairy hole-der.  Hopefully I can have a prototype made by hunting season.  I plan on machining it myself so it might not take 18 months to get it
