Default This is it!

Well guy's I went to my bow shop today because my Bow Tech Patriot Dually came in yesterday.I didn't bring it home but I did most of my shopping for it today,so this is my set-up.
Impact Archery Cosmic sight
QuickTune 3000 micro adjustable arrowrest
7 1/2" 10oz Vibracheck Isolator Stabilizer
PSE 4 arrow quiver
Easton S/T Axis 400's arrows {had to order}

I know this isn't exactly the set-up I originally planned ,but I'm sire it will be just as good.

Youw went to the shop, and didn't bring it home? [] You have alot more patience than I have

Good choice of accessories...Love the Cosmic myself..and the NAP 3000, and ST AXIS...I must say though that a PSE quiver on a BowTech bow is borderline blasphemy![>:]

Give me 10 "Hail Kevin Strother"s and you will be saved

Yeah........PSE quiver? [:'(] That bow is going to reject that quiver like a bad heart transplant.
I still don't know how you guys even shoot with bow mounted quivers? Mine came off in 1997 and hasn't been back since. Hate the stinkin unbalanced monsters. Catquiver my man, Catquiver! carries your neccesary gear , protects your arrows and you just strap it to, or hang it in your tree. A pack and quiver in one. The greates combo since peanut butter and jelly!

Yeah and why didn't you bring that thing home? geez that would be like going to the pound and knowing that your new puppy was there and you just left him for a few more days looking all sad and cold.........and lonely. while you went shopping for a new leash and a water bowl.

I guess I'm going to have to get some of those Axis arrows myself.....I'm about sick of hearing how good they are.

Nubo, congrats on the new bow. I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep at night knowing that I have a brand new bow sitting at the shop waiting to come home.

I also shoot a Quictune 3000 & I was wondering if there would be any problems setting it up for the skinny axis arrows. It seems like you would have to move the prongs in pretty close & wouldn't be able to shoot much offset on your fletching without any contact. I've never had any experience with the skinnier carbons. If I'm not mistaken JeffB is currently shooting his axis arrows through a drop away. Just curious how they would work with my rest.

Another vote for the Catquiver. I switched to one this year from a bow mounted quiver & absolutely love it. No more heavy bow walking to my stand. No more snow or mud filling up your nocks when you're crawling through the thick stuff.

I have often thought of getting a Cat quiver but how would I put that and my Summit Viper on my back at the same time?

I'm with ya on the bow quiver[:-] I need to know exactly where that first or next arrow is at all times. I have a 4 arrow bow quiver on mine and it, with 4 carbon arrows only adds 9 1/2 ounces to the bow. My rig is deadly accurate out to 60 yards,,,, I only wish I was!!![:'(]

I have carried a hip quiver for the last 12 years and love the fact it's right at my side or hanging ready for the next shot.

Consider this......an Alpine Archery or Kwikee bow quiver that's removable so that when you're walking to stand with a backpack and treestand on your back you have easy access to your arrows. Once you're in the tree, hang a cheap screw on hook (or spend the extra dough and get a quiver mount for your treestand) so you can shoot quiver free.

I knew I was gonna catch hell for the quiver and for not bringing this bow home and yes it's hard knowing it's waiting for me . As for the quiver it matched the bow better than the other's ,I also need a new quiver for my other bow so I will be getting a Bow Tech quiver or maybe I'll try a Cat quiver later,but this quiver will not be permenant I'll put it on my other bow since the quiver on it has seen better day's .And for bringing it home I still haven't paid it off so this week I'll go finish paying for it and then I'll give it a good home.
