JoePA and I seem to be on the same path. I also have a compound, WB, basic pin sight, and a Winn release. I couldn' t be happier and I shoot great with the combo. I actually, purposefully, pushed my equipment hard on this last hunt. The bow rode bunjied corded to a plastic tote in the back of my truck for almost 500 miles, was carried through the thickest black spruce you could imagine, and was pushed ahead of me army-crawl style acrost frozen crunchy snow on the open tundra in a few failed stalks. It didn' t fail me and when I got home it still hit exactly as when I left. HOWEVER, I had to constantly rub the ice off of my cables and string serving throughout the first couple days. That' s why the bow ended up riding in the back of the truck...warm bow and cold weather=ice. The minor troubles we go through are still often less than rifle hunters with optics go through in inclement weather.
