RE: Made new purchase in prep.....
 

I have shot a G5 peep with no problems noticed (The guys at my shop said some of the early ones were bending into oval shapes from the pressure but I've never seen it) Alpine has a nice new quiver called the bear claw which is nearly silent on and off the bow........they also make a sweet teflon cable slide called the Mach 5 in very cool camo........oh crap, you don't need a cable slide anymore (nevermind). The Vortex quivers look sweet. I doubt either of those bows will need much of a stabilizer so find one you like in matching camo so at least it will look great. I have the Viper sight as well and it is very nice........I don't shoot any better with it then the $40 Copper John Dead Nuts Hunter I have on my other bow but it sure looks pretty :)

Rob:

I have an 11.5" carbon elite doinker with the supression mount (the good one) that I'd be willing to loan you long term to try out. I can give it to you when we meet up for lunch next weekend. If you like it, great and you can buy one eventually. If not, then mail it back to me whenever. I don't want to sell it outright quite yet, but honestly don't see myself shooting hunter class ever again and that's the only reason I bought it. It's in perfect condition........

Just my opinion, but if you must have a drop away on that bow, I'd look at the QAD ultra LD, or the Limb Driver. A trophy taker would be on the bottom of the list of ones too look at in my personal opinion.

Let me know if you want to give that doinker a shot.

Ah yes, the sight with the staggered pins.[8D];)

I thought Muzzy was coming out with an updated version of the MZE for roller cable setups. If this was the case, would you consider it? I love my MZE on my tribby. Just askin'.

Yooper, since I already own the TT Pronghorn, I'm up for trying a new rest. Don't get me wrong, I really am impressed with the TT Pronghorn and it's performed flawlessly.

Matt / PA has/had the Limb Driver on his Guardian, I was impressed with it when I shot it so that's not out of the question. I know he's a fan of them so, that says alot.

GMMAT, Good suggestions. I like the look of the Wild Thing on Bowtechs website. The Doinker is also on there so I don't know. I love my Super Stix so that may go on one, The Axium is great but I don't like that I cannot sit my bow down on it cause it bends. You can see that in my doe picture. Great stabilizer but I like resting my bow in the stabilizer, especially in a ground blind.

Your QAD is also one I've considered, still am.

GR8, yes they will work on the center pivot bows. Matt had one on his Guardian. If Matt likes it, that speaks volumes for me and I shot his and fell in love with both the Guardian and the Limb Driver, together they were whisper quiet.

Yooper, I do love my Katana quiver. Do I really need a second one? HHmmm

dandbuck, Is that an issue? I know GMMAT loves his and I installed one for a friend on his Mathews. I'll have to ask these guys as well. I don't see having to modify that but I did notice some glare of it in my backyard. HHmmm Jeff, Wag's what do you think?

I haven't shot the Patriot, I do have the Allegiance and find it an amazing bow. The Guardian blew my mind..it's shockingly amazing. The General must be just as shocking amazing. I can only imagine and look forward to shooting Matt's next weekend.

goherd1111, Matt had the Limb Driver on his Guardian so I have to assume that it's fine for the General as well. Matt, Greg? If it's fine, I think you guys have me talked into one. I was thinking about it and the reviews are all positive. Anyone ever hear of a flaw? What about the string in the woods and snags?

atlasman, good to see you posting, how's the season. Thanks for the reference on the G5 peep. I like the concept and look but I have a Super Peep on my Allegiance, yeah it's heavy but I can throw on my Tox and Boss scope and screw in a clearifing lens in my peep. I might use it on my next primary bow cause I have the Zeiss Lens coming with my new Viper sight. On the other bow maybe I'll try the G5.

Thanks for the recs on quivers and lol cable slides...;) And good point on stabilizers, might not need one...I do like the looks of them and to be honest, I shoot a heavy bow better than a light one and I shoot higher poundage better than lower poundage. I guess I need some beef out there. :D

Rick James, I'll give it a try. I do have the Super Stix and a 12" Hoyt stabilizer but the Hoyt is HEAVY....If the need is not there on the General, I still like one for support, standing and looks. ;) Lunch is definately on and it should be me, GMMAT, tkycaller, Q2INWHITETAILS, Matt and Jeff and I's wives, you and Dan (APAJaws). Where we meeting? Well, we'll talk. Bring the doinker...LOL that sounds funny. So another vote for the Limb Driver.

ducsauce, I love the Viper Predator Pro-MT...awesome. Yes, I'd consider the Muzzy, I've heard Greg review it enough times but it's looking like the Limb Driver is really getting the votes.

RE: Made new purchase in prep.....
 

Yeah, I suppose, if you have a detachable quiver, i don't guess you really NEED one...but when has need factored in to any decision!?! Any way you get just the bracket I wonder?

RE: Made new purchase in prep.....
 

YooperM, that's a great point. I should just order the bracket....great thinking.

I do what I can to help those less gifted. :eek:

Rob, as far as the rest goes, I really like the looks of the new Simms drop-away rest, it appears to be built well and it seems as though it would be one of the quieter drop aways. I havn't had any experience with it, but I have been looking at it recently and it seems pretty nice, I just question how well it would work with a bow that has such little limb movement. As far as the stabilizers go, check out the SAP Feather Light Hunting Stabilizers, they have alot of the same features as the Doinkers but cost a little less.
