Well I'll try and get some pics up at least tomorrow

I also went back on what I said regarding the QAD rest in that other thread. Shop owner convinced me the early issues had been solved and the new "HD" (?) model was incredible- they sold 507 of them this past year and gave me his personal guarantee (meaning he will put something else on for me if I dont end up liking it). I just didn't like the limb driver with all that extra cabling. We'll see.

Also outfitted it with a Cobra Sidewinder plus or deluxe or something 3 pin sight, a "blue" G5 peep (neat! I used a fletcher forever, this G5 is nice!) and a limbsaver stabilizer (the one with the metal mount and damper, and then like 3" S coil or whatever). Frankly the bow didn't really need it vibe wise-and it didn't do much in that regard, but it did help it balance a bit better though. Amazing how quiet and recoil/vibe free the GT500 is considering the horsepower behind it. No silencers other than the string suppressor thing.

Unfortunately the shop no longer carries Carbon Tech as they had major supply issues with them- so for now I just picked up a half dozen Beman ICS Hunters fletched with Blazers- Once I get to fletching again, and get my shooting back in the groove I will upgrade. The only other cheap options were the Carbon Express Rebels (?) and some other cheap CX shaft which the guys were pretty quick to tell me to not waste my money on.
