Upgrading My Bow
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:16:59 PM »
OK here is where I could use some help. I am wondering up putting a new stabilizer on my bow will help me fine tune my shots when I am sizing up the target. I currently have the factory one on that came with the bow and wanted to know what good if any it would to upgrade it. What are some good upgrade options? Also when releasing my shot there is a fairly loud THWANG can this be quieted with upgrading the string silencers which are also factory ones. I can post pics of each if needing to see what I am talking about. Thanks All.

I am shooting an Alpine Frontier with a 60lb draw shooting Easton St Epic N-Fused Carbon 300 and going to be shooting 340 when they come in the mail. Also what can you all tell me about doing my own fletching?

I would go look at archery talk for info on your stabilizer, lots of good info about what lengths actually help your accuracy. It helped me out. Went with a b-stinger. As far as fletching you should take a look at fobs they look funny but they work great.

your arrows are stiff and 340's might still be stiff what is your draw and how long are your arrows?
get a bitzenburger fletching jig its the best jig out....fobs are good to ...I have shot them and the shoot good but you need a drop away rest and not all drop away work that good.
the other thing you can do is put a STS on that bow it will help the most.

Watz, get rid of that tubing attaching your peep sight!!!  Try stretching a piece of tubing between your hands and let one end go, it snaps!  With your string loop, you should not need any additional peep aligner. 

Are you getting out this weekend?
