I have a few questions on what i should do? first, a background check, i'm 20, 2nd year of college. I grew up shootin compounds instinctivly, shot well for years, then changed to a hunting bow, heavier weight for deer. Things just never went right, it wasn't the weight, it was the DL. Anyhow, it isn't adjustable so i bought a Martin hunter recurve, hunted with it for a year, missed a few deer. I've decided to hunt with a compound seriously, and a stick bow for fun. I bought the fred bear element 58# 29in DL, wisker bisuit, 400 venture carbons and a tru glo 5 pin. My question is, what is a decent set up for this bow, i'm lookin for a decent arrow, that can take a beating and keep shootin, unlike the ventures. I'm lookin at the Axis arrows. I'm also lookin at fletchin them with the Max Hunter vanes, can i fletch them helical and still get good performance from the bisuit. What about a peep, i like the peeps, but the aligner tube kills alot of speed, and i tried shootin without one, it was a nightmare, i'd draw 5 times to shoot once. I'm a deer hunter, and i want a hunting bow that can throw an arrow with a muzzy MX-4 to 40 yards accuratly, 30 is probably as far as i will shoot, but if he's a booner, 40 would be nice.
The very first thing I do to a new bow is change the string and cable to a quality one mainly Bucknasty (gibblet).
Once the bow has around 50 shots the string has settled down then I start adding my accories (sp).
For a peep on a hunting bow dont go below a 1/4" as they dont let enough light through some good peeps are the Fletcher Tru Peep, Speciality Archery Hooded Ball peep ( kinda expensive) the G5 Meta peep
For arrows there are a lot of good ones out there and a lot of crap ones, with arrows you get what you pay for so dont go cheap. ACC's are good, the Axis you mentioned are also good but as with any full carbon arrow cut an equal amount from BOTH ends incase of any run out.
The main thing is make sure your arrows spin true (with broad heads) your bow is tuned to perfection and you are turned to perfection.
Then practice, practice,practice and with that I dont mean just flinging arrows, practice with a purpose by working on one part of your form at a time.
If you are shooting a whisker biscuit I'd strongly suggest Blazer vanes. Otherwise you'll be refletching arrows at least once a month. Trust me on this....
i would shot blazer vanes on xt goldtips they are awsome arrows and the wont kill the bank acount
as for the wisker bisquit i would get the qad dropaway hunter awsome arrow rest
the peep sight dont matter as much as long as u can see through it and the hose might slow it down but speed anit every thing
settin up my new bow
