Default most important

If/when you were putting together a rig what would be the first accessory you concern yourself with and would not compromise what you what, sight, rest, stab?
Courious about your opinions.

Not sure if a would consider it an accessory, but a necessity - ARROWS.

The sight in my opinion, stabilizer second. I don't get worked up over rests too much, on all the high end target bows I have had I go all out on sights, scopes, lenses, stabilizers, etc and get the very best I can afford. I use a simple rest though usually. I can't justify spending $100+ on a top end rest when a TT spring steel, whisker biscuit, or GKF TKO does the same thing for way less.

Id vote for rest. you want all your accesories to be highly adjustable and they are all important. But a good rest can make a not-so-good shooter much better...

I was thinking the rest as well. I am pretty happy with the GKF infinity I have. This was a 2nd hand sight and have not had a single issue with it.

Arrows--you can spend every cent you have on top of the line accessories but if those arrows don't fly true and straight,it's $$$ down the drain.

I like the QAD utlrarest.... and GTpro or XT hunters for arrows... Dont forget good broadheads... those things are pretty important as well.
