Hey You great forum people.

I'm Looking to get a new bow after this season. I have my Eye on a Mathews or an Elite bow. Not looking for opinions on bows but its Accessories. But i guess if you have an opinion on if one bow from those companies is a better hunting bow than the other fell free to give your opinion.

What Type of Sight and Rest do you all recommend?

I'll give you a little background of how I hunt which may affect what would be best suited for me.

I am 95% a tree stand hunter. I hunt open land(corn and bean fields) and a small area of woods. shots can range from anywhere from 15-50 yard(not that i would take a shot that far unless i was really comfortable at that range) shots. I hunt from a blind only 2 or 3 times a year if i need to. I don't do any stalking and the deer on my property usually come out 15-30 min after morning light and 15-30 min before sun down.


My initial thoughts after reading about sights is a Pendulum sight because I'm a tree stand hunter and that would possible help out having a better angled shot. But I've never used a one pin sight and not totally sold on it.

My sight right now is just some stock Truglo 4 fixed pin sight. I like it ok but would def. like a brighter one or one with a light to light up the fiber optics better.

I DONT think an adjustable sight is the one for me as I don't want to make an adjustment every time the deer moves.

So any help on the sight would be great??

As far as the Rest. I have a whisker biscuit right now and think it does fine. I am leaning towards a drop away of some short as i hear they give better accuracy.

But what is your opinion? Is a drop away the best or are whisker biscuits good? If a drop away is the way to go what do you recommend? The only negatives i usually hear about drop away is the arrow can sometimes fall off the rest before a shot.

Now obviously money plays a part in this so i am not loaded with money but i do want to get a good product. So i guess i am willing to pay 30-70 on a sight and 50-110 on a rest. But i would lean towards less money if i could.

But to be honest I am not a person who takes 5 deer a year or do a lot of shooting in the offseason (except to stay in good form for the hunting season) so i don't need the latest and greatest products .
I am really just looking to get a good setup that will last me the next 10 years!

Thanks for reading this long post and any advice!
