Default Made new purchase in prep.....

Okay, I have a General and Marquis coming. Now to add accessories.

I made the call to Viper Archery Products moments ago. You've seen me do a review on the sight. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1577393&mpage=1

That sight configuration was all .019 pins with green, yellow, red and green. I order another one of this exact same sight, now I'll have two, well 3 with the one I ordered for the Trykon I gave/traded to my buddy Kurt.

The new sight configuration will be two .019 pins in green and yellow followed by two .010 pins in red and green.

I also added a 4X lens to the sight just because, well call me a gadget guy. I already own a 2X clearifing lens for my Super Peep.

I also ordered extra fibers for both the .019 and .010 pins. One never knows and with upcoming trips to IL and WY I want to be prepared.

Now what for rests, stabilizers etc....

Here's what I'm thinking and I'm asking for input.

I love my Trophy Taker Prongorn Original that I have on my Allegiance. I'm thinking another TT Pronghorn for the new ones as well as possibly the Limb Driver. Whatcha's thoughts on any of this thinking?

Now, I have a Fuse Axium 10" stablizer on my Allegaince. I also have a 12" Super Stix which I've always loved but I'm thining I like the look of the 11.5" Doinker, what's anyone thoughts on this?

Peeps, there is always the standby, Tru Peep but, I'm thinking maybe the G5...what's thoughts on this?

Am I forgetting anything?

If it is between the TT and a Limb Driver, thereis no choice to be made, Limb Driver all the way. That rest is so awesome. Couple guys I target shoot with have them, and one of my hunting friends does too, and they all give it rave reviews. I shot one for a little bit but I had just bought a new a new QAD, and was more or less playing with the limb driver when the shop got one in. Very accurate and easy to tune. The Whammy is pretty sweet too, but i think the Limb Driver is a better option.

I'd seriously look at Bowtech's own wild thing line of stabilizers (Which I will put on the general WHEN i get one). I've loved my G5 peep since installing it....and the QAD ultra rest has no downfalls I know of.

I'm like you....if I thought there was something better out there....I'd have it on my bow (and I include my bow in that statement).

Good luck. Nice problem to have (bows that need accessorizing)

AH, FOP, thank you so much but a guy can only use so many quivers. I currently have the Fuse Katana on my Allegiance. I figure that can migrate easily enough from one bow to another depending on which I hunt with and when. I should however pick up a second one. I'm up in the air there, any suggestions?

I'm really unfamiliar with the limb driver type rests but will they work with the center pivot design??

I'm gonna need a rest to since Muzzy doesn't make one for these bows (yet) so I need you guys to run the early tests!

Fuse quivers are the best out there I think. Their attachment system is so secure/stable. Bowtech makes a garbage quiver, I bought one because it matched camo-wise, but my next will be a Fuse. My wife has one on her Vectrix and it pisses me off everytime she hooks and detaches it because the system is so great. For a second quiver, I think Fuse should get the call!

With regards to the G5 peep. Anyone else have glare issues? I had to take a black marker to the inside of it since whenever the sun got in there I could not see a thing. Did not know if anyone else had that problem.
BTW, what do you guys do with all your old bows? Must be hard to get rid of huh? I love the look of that new General, how do you feel it compares with the Patriot? (I love my Patriot)

I trade my old ones in on new ones, usually my "old" one is about 8-10 months old.

Rob, I really love my limbdriver rest. The concept is genius and a 5 year old could set it up. It works flawlessly. I'm not sure if they have a model that will work on the center pivot design of the general, but you should def. give it a shot on your marquis.
