Best bow accessories?

[bloodhound]

im assuming radsav makes them? i think that could be a super inexpensive upgrade. i would like to know from those of you that use them or rad,what is different about it from other peeps, and what makes them so great so i can know if i should be buying one or others can know why they should be buying one?

I think a stabilizer is a great addition to a bow.  I got an inexpensive one and noticed it helped a lot with noise reduction right away.  I didnt notice a big help with shooting but Im not an expert shooter either.

Was a good bit of difference when I first started making them.  Competition has come on strong the past year and are doing pretty good.  Super-Deuce is a horizontal mounted aluminum peep and the Super-Deuce 38 is angle mounted.  The 38 is based on the Fletcher Tru-Peep design.  Ours has a wider and shallower circumference groove with no square slots.  Since it is anodized we can not use paint to cover up the sharp burrs.  So they are tumbled for 16 - 18 hours in 4mm ceramic triangles to radius all edges.  We also draft all aperture holes to lessen glare and widen the variety of axle-to-axle bows while achieving true round aperture viewing.  The horizontal model allows for more string rotation without aperture blackout.  It also works best for bows of extreme short axle-to-axle design (gets better the shorter you go).

Our Tru-Aligner allows the use of the superior angled aluminum design while giving self alignment tubing style to those who prefer it.  The two are served together as one solid piece.  My personal favorite when shooting bows that allow tubing (the Bear Assault's dual suppressor forces me to eliminate tubing from that setup).  We will have the website up again soon with much better photos and instructions.

We have a lot of other peeps as well, but in my opinion these are the best we produce.

Not the place for RAD to advertise here.  So if you have further questions just give a call 360-896-1120.  I'm more than happy to help with equipment and/or hunting questions.  Just ask for Bryan.  The guys at Riverside know our product line very well and can answer nearly all the peep questions too.

As few as possible!!! The more stuff you have on your string the slower you bow becomes.
Use a D loop, a good light peep and string chubs...the rest is what you need to shoot well, arrow rest, sight and counter balance.

I think the most important accessories are the ones you can use to tune or repair you bow in the field if needed. I carry a small pencil pouch in my backpack filled with repair stuff, extra peep, pliers, different strings for serving, D loop and drop away cord, string splitter, lighter....things like that are great to have with you in the field.

Don't way your bow down with stuff you do not need on it

Good luck,
Fulla

I shoot an X-force, and besides the rest and stabilizer, by best accessory has been a backstop.  It reduced the noise and vibration significantly, and just plain feels better to shoot now.

Thanks again to everyone who commented! I'll be stopping by Riverside to see what they have while I'm getting my arrows cut.

My support of the RAD Super Deuce goes back to probably when they first appeared on the market.  I did not know RadSav is involved.

Back when all the metal D-loops and knocks with fins that clamped onto your string to align peeps first hit the markets, soon followed by the string loop, now more commonly refered to as D-loop.......SO, all this stuff first appeared as solutions to string rotation that took peeps out of alignment, in response to getting rid of tubing aligners.

So, back then, ( to a lesser degree now ), when the string decides to rotate, your D-loop wound up 90 degrees to the riser as it tried to render itsself.  To maintain, adjust your loop, and if shooting an angled peep, press your bow and turn your peep around. 

All this monkey business made me go to the RAD Super Deuce because of its horizontal mount , requiring no adjustments if the string wanted to rotate.  SInce I shoot off the string, ( many of us still do ), there is no headache involved with a bit of rotation, like when you shoot in a new string.....A simple turn of the peep before  drawing your bow ensures proper alignment.  For me, this has worked well for many years......Even friends who shoot loops, like this peep, they can adjust the loop as required, without moving the peep.

I use different sizes for different set ups....small and large pin guards on my spot-hoggs,dove tail mounts allow me to adjust pin guard to fit inside peep.....just alot of reasons
for me to use this product. For me, its as simple as it gets.  And its not a covenience issue to get to a shop for help....I have two presses and change strings regularly, and still choose to do it this way.

i second the radical sights. i got mine and a custom string made and the difference in the peep sight is amazing on how much easier it is to see through. custom string is also the way to go. ill never run a factory string again! the new string fixed a bunch of problems i was having and tightened my groups up a lot. huge difference. i think its even shooting faster because i had to raise my 40 and fifty yard pins.
