Default Got my 1st Bow Yesterday

Welp i finally decided that Im a hunter and want to hunt with a bow....Bought an 07 Reflex Growler. Shoots fairly nice and is alot more compact and lighter than the others i chose to shoot yesterday...

Fairly basic setup as of the moment probaly start to upgrade things on the bow once it gets closer to hunting season...Any ideas of what kind of things i should upgrade???

Has True-Glo's basic 3pin sight, quiver and wisker arrow rest.

I have not bought broadheads yet and only bought sportsmans warehouses 400gram arrows...any ideas for these as well??

Thanx guys.

ORIGINAL: CarpetBagger

Has True-Glo's basic 3pin sight, quiver and wisker arrow rest.
As for upgrades on the quiver Trophy Ridge as a good quiver. If your going to shoot mechanicals, Vista as a neat quiver that opens up. As for a arrow rest the Limb Driver as got some good reviews. As for sight i like the Tru Glo that you already have.

Welcome to the site and to the passion that is Bowhunting, sounds like you have a decant setup, a three pin sight is just fine for hunting,I shoot 100 grain montecs and 340 grain beman arrows. Alot of guys will tell you to get a drop away rest but its all in what you like. I shoot a whisker biscuit and works great. I would say with it being your first hunting experance with a bow just have fun with it.
