Default RE: Took the plunge-new bow.

Keeping things simple and economicalas far as a rest- whisker biscuit

Everything else is a matter of personal preference because of comparable cost, I use an illuminated Sword 4 pin with.019 pins. I cut the fibers to all but my 20 yd pin, they were just too bright in low light conditions with no no background light around the target.

My rest is a G5 expert, love it. I had a Trophy Ridge Vertical Drop, didn't care for it- the rest slid on plastic tubes that would tend to stick at the bottom not allowing the rest to drop thewhole waybut still was enough to not affect arrow flight. I used to use a whisker biscuit but have since switched todrop aways b/c they are quieter and theydo not reduce arrow speed. The nice thing about a whisker is you can nock an arrow and not worry about it coming off the rest as I do with a drop away. They makestalk huntinga little easier.

As far as the string stop... what comes with the General is all you need. The string stop deadens the sound of the string's "twang" and vibration.

And Broadheads- I have used mechanicals in the past resulting in more issues than benefits. Now I use 100 gr. G5 Strikers- Extremely sharp, they fly perfect and are rugged in design and cut on contact through ground blind mesh unlike the mechanicals which tear through resulting in deflection.

Congrats on buying a Bowtech. I have a Bowtech Admiral and absolutely love it, not a bad thing to say about it. I wish you success with your new bow.
