Default Changes from last year to this year

So what on your bow setup is different from last year?

For me, who rarely changes anything, I've managed to swap just about everything except the bow itself this year

XX75 2314>>>>>Gold Tip 7595
Added a D loop
Added an STS
Peep with tube>>>>>no tube on my peep
Truball tornado>>>>> Scott Rhino
The final peice of the puzzle has yet to be finalized. Debating between my savage pendulum or Extreme sniper XLT.

Went from hi-tech to low-tech.

Shooting a longbow this year with wood arrows.

Nothing on my set up has changed, but I did get new contacts....Holy cow...is it normal to see two pins?!?! Could't shoot for crap. I think I will stick with the old contacts now that the season is so close. I shoot great with those and only see one pin lol.

Let's see. I changed bows and went back to a Hoyt. I am also using a completely new set of sights and a new rest. I kept the arrow, release and broadhead. That's it.

A Copper John sight (got it in Dec. last year though when I broke my old site. Only sighted in 1 pin after I got it so i guess it counts as a new item for this year since all 3 pins are sighted in).

Also got a new string and cables (realized in early summer that my bow is 6 yrs old and still had the orginials on! Figured I better change them now than have them break in mid season)

Went from a mid-90's vintage PSE Lightning Flite II with Al arrows and a TM Hunter rest, to a Switchback with all the bells and whistles... Its gonna be a great season!

No changes. Why tamper with a perfectly tuned bow that you have confidence to do the job each and every time?
