Default RE: Need help deciding on a aarow rest and sights

There are so many good sights and arrow rests out there, but, there are alot of bad ones too.

One thing I CAN' T STRESS ENOUGH is the importance of the arrow rest and sight. In my opinion, these are the two most important accessories on a bow.

I am currently using a N.A.P. QuickTune 3000 Micro Arrow Rest and a Toxonics Hybrid VI Sight. Why?

The N.A.P. QuickTune 3000 Micro is a tough arrow rest. N.A.P. has a good reputation for building quality products. Also, this arrow rest is probablly the easiest to tune. There are three knobs to adjust windage, elevation, and spring tension. Each one has micro adjustment marks so you can really fine tune your arrows.

The Toxonics Hybrid IV is a great sight. It is like most new sights, easy to adjust. Also, it features a circle pin housing for easier allignement of pins in the peep sight. The edge of the pin hosuing has a glow in the dark sticker on it so you can easily find your pins in low light conditions while also alluminating the pins in low light conditions. There is also a bubble level indicator to help you make sure that your bow is in a correct vertical position. It is amazing to see the how crooked some people shoot a bow without one. I know I was holding crooked. Now, this also will help in tuning the bow. Having a vertical bow is going to make the vertical and horizontal adjustments more " true" .

Look for these characteristics in your sight and arrow rest. Don' t say " wow, that is expensive, maybe I should get a cheaper one" . These are VERY important parts of the bow, so, get the best ones that you can.
