Grand total: $395

I would forget the string leeches. I went through 3 sets in a month. That was shooting 20-50 arrows per day. Just went back to the cheap cat whisker silencers. As far as your sight, I would also suggest you go with the Cobra Sidewinder. It is an excellent sight, and one of the brightest I have ever seen. Good luck

thanks i am trying to cut down on cost is the side winder in the 30 to 40 dollar range and i am going to try the leaches because i am not to be shooting that much daily

RE: My future bow
 

one, the only thing i have used that you have mentioned is the whisker biscuit, i love them, some hate them, they are a little rough on feathers if you plan on shootin feathers, they are one of the easiest rest to tune i know of, they reduction of speed is minimal. as far as sights, you didn't mention what area your from, but i used to shoot nothing but a pendilum sight, (keller) they are a great starter sight and are easy to tune and adjust, givin you follow instructions;), sorry i am unfamiliar with the sight you mentioned, if you get your bow and would like to try the keller let me know, i have 3 laying around, and i have one on a bow i still shoot/hunt with, great sight in flat terrain and 30 yrds or less.. anyway you got a long time to do searches, you need to have whatever you decide on ready to shoot 2-3 months ahead of the season and get very proficent with it;)

best of luck man, bow-huntin changes everything

RE: My future bow
 

what do you think about getting the easton carbon extreme arrows with that bow for the price i dont know if they are any good though

RE: My future bow
 

Oneshot - You should listen to "longrifle" if you are trying to pinch pennies. I had leaches on my bow last year and they didn't make it more than a couple of months. I have switched to $1 worth of cat whiskers and my bow is quieter and they last practically forever.

The rest of your setup will do just fine. You don't need a $700 bow to go kill some deer! The Cobra Venom is a fine basic pin sight that will serve you well. Everybody seems to think you have to have wrapped fiber sights these days, but the Venom still has fiber optic pins so it will work fine. The Sidewinder is typically in the $70 range, but they have a couple of different models that vary in price.

I don't know anything about the arrows you asked about. I still shoot aluminum and they tend to be cheaper, yet with tighter tolerances, than most carbons. It's really a personal choice.

Good luck ... Shockwave

you didnt mention a stabilizer or a wrist strap sling whatever you call themm

RE: My future bow
 

I dont need a wrist wrap or a stabilizer on the bow 445 dollars is my top cost since i already have a release

RE: My future bow
 

I will 2nd and 3rd what longrifle and shock said. The guy at the pro shop recommended them to me. He even had them on his Hoyt and there was barely any left on it but he said he shot alot. They may have lasted a month. IMO, they suck and you would be better off with cat whiskers. I have a Pearson Pride with the bow jacks and they seem ok but I still prefer the cat whiskers. My Pride has the offset grip and my Anaconda has one and I really like it. I've never shot a Spoiler but you won't have to worry about quality. Pearsons bows are as good as any out there but they don't advertise as much as others. I've recently read they were going to ramp up the advertising, though, and it looks like their bows are going to go up in price so now's a good time to buy one. Have you actually shot the Spoiler. I would recommend to shoot it and try some others. You might fall in love with it or you might like something else.

RE: My future bow
 

i love that LIFETIME WARRENTY on the bow that is great unfortunately i dont have anywhere locally that carries pearson bows so i can shoot it

RE: My future bow
 

A wrist strap allows you to correctly hold your bow loosely without dropping it after the shot. It's an important item to obtain good form. A stabilizer can also make a bigger difference to your accuracy than even your choice in arrow (brand/style, spine and length are still more important)

Right now if you patrol the sporting goods aisle at Wall mart you might be able to pick up a strap for about $5 and a stabilizer for maybe $10. You don't need anything fancy, just something that will put a little mass away from center. The strap doesn't need to be anything fancy either.

I'd also suggest giving yourself a bit more than 2 or 3 months if you've never bow hunted before. You want to be as confident as possible in your abilities

I did bowhunt this year and i missed the only deer i got a shot at right over the back for the reason she did the opposite of what she was supposed to do she Jumped when i shot and it went right under her clean miss
