just thinking about what i need for my bow to get ready to start shooting again and i was wondering to myself what the most important things on my bow were that i needed to cover, so i was just curious to what do you guys think the most important things on your bows are??

Mine are:
stabilizer
string(which im lookin for a new one)
release
rest
D loop
Arrows
Broad heads/Field Points

i also keep hearing good things about string stoppers, thinkin about gettin one of those too

STRiNG !!!!!!!!!!!!

Now this I most heartedly agree with. Good quality strings are THE most important thing. Strings that will keep the bow in tune till they are replaced.

Then secondly, although not "on" the bow, are a good set of very consistently spined arrows.

agree 100% so far. Everything else is a personal choice.
example: fingers vs release
sight vs instinctive
stabilizer or not

REST! Other than the shooter the rest has the most impact on arrow flight.

Good strings, rest, and sight.

It's like buying a new vehicle and after that you have to buy the four tires, the lights and the steering wheel.

Some of these internet bow companies are offering the bow and the bow with accessories. It's a good gauge on how much you want to spend.

There are archers who can only shoot bows over $500 and closer to $1000. There are a lot of archers who are only interested in hunting and a reasonably shooting bow.

And you'll always find comments from those who must own stock in the company and look forward to those quarterly dividend checks.

There are a number of excellent companies that sell bows to the beginner or intermediate archer/hunter. Years of experience show that these less expensive bows do harvest deer.

Good condition strings, and a good rest and arrow combo. Other than that, it's all up to u...
