I have a alright bow setup right now but in the near future am looking to get a better set up. What I want to do is buy a new bow and outfit it with top of the line sights, quiver, arrows, stablizer, etc. Are there any suggestions you guys can give me on a kind of bow to get(remember i just want the bow bare with nothing on it). Also can you give me a price range on how much the bow you reccomend will cost. Any help would be great thanks.

Plan on spending roughtly:
$650-$700 for bare bow (preferable BowTech)
$125-150 for real good sight
$75 for a good rest
$30 for a quiver (match quiver brand w/ bow brand for best performance)
$60 for 6 carbon arrows
$60-$100 for good release
For all top of the line gear, plan on spending $1000-$1200 for a complete setup. Although you don't necessarly need all the best equiptment to be a good shooter. It is all about what you are comforable with.

Well, you asked opinion, so here goes.
Hoyt UltraTec
Trophy Ridge Drop Zone
Cobra Easy Slide Extreme
Shockblocker stabilizer
Easton A/C/C arrows
TruBall Tornado Deluxe release
Total cost..........$1100.
That's my set up, and I am .....well......MOST pleased with it. But you know what......you may not like it at all. First, decide on your price range. Second, shoot as many bows in that range as you can. Then, pick the accessories.

Now, that is funny. Preferably Bowtech? Now I get it, the level of the playing field is not level at all, just biased!
LOL, just picking on ya. And to offer some advice on this post, you can get a good sight under $100, even with micro adjustments. Tru-Glo for example is one of many companies that can provide a competition worthy or hunting worthy sight. Many sights out there have to follow one rule-how good of a shot are you? A $300 sight will not make you shoot better, or a $50 sight won't make you shoot any worse.
