Default New Bow questions

I have purchased a new bow. I bought an old PSE Fire flite from a guy for 80 bucks. So, I spoke to some buddies and got a list of what they generally like and I thought I'd fly it past some folks here to get a pro opinion. Given that I get a bunch of money for my birthday, this is what I did to it.
New medium whisker biscuit.
New Tru glo sight,
Tru Glow Peep,
Limbsavers on the limbs and an s coil stabilizer,
loop knock
400 grain easton carbon aarows with 2 inch blazers
3 125 grain G5 Montec broadheads
3 125 grain Montec pre seasons.
Bow is set at 65 pounds.

Does this sound like a good setup or this thing gonna blow up?

With a Whisker Biscuit this thing is like a ticking time bomb [:-]


All kidding aside, looks like a pretty decent setup.

Good, I waxed the cables cause it didnt look like they have had any care in a while. I also grabbed a broadhead target. I'll get out and do some pounding on it later

I would just look atthe strings and cables. Make sure that they are good. If it was me I would replace them they are probably the ones that came with the bow. Other than that you sound good to go.

I spoke to the bow tech at Gander Mountain and he said the string would need replacing next year. Just to take it home, wax it and keep an eye on one spot. It looks good though, no fraying or anything.... I'm hoping it will be ok.
