wow thanks joe! yeah Townsend in about 2 hours from me. I'm sure there are some places arond here I just dont know of any.

can someone tell me if the tru-fire brand of releases are good quality?

I recently picked up a Bear Instinct package from bass pro for 299. A similar package to the PSE your looking at. It fits me well but I have been shooting archery for 22 years so I didn't need the techs advice.

I see in the paper they also have a Diamond Razor Edge package for 329. Never picked the bow up...but it looks nice.

If you can shoot any of them before you buy I suggest doing so. Nothing wrong with getting it at bass pro but like Josh said you'll get a little more experienced help at a good shop.

Good luck finding what works for you. I do suggest you stay on the less expensive side as you realy don't need to worry about the newest fastest gizmos out there. You need a solid performing bow.

Oh one suggestion if your a total beginner. A bow with longer Axle to Axle may be a good choice as they are a bit more forgiving usually. Take your time and find someone local that knows what they are doing and practice as much as you can.

tru-fire releases are of great quality bud, have one myself actually!

thanks Jason, I saw that diamond razors edge in the sale paper from BP...The only thing that kept me from it, is it maxes at at 60 # draw weight I think...so Once I practiced and got my muscles into shape back there...if I wanted to go past 60 I couldnt, correct?..or could I take it to a shop and get that changed?

I did think about that bow though...but was not sure of the quality

I got a camo cobra dual caliper release on sale for I think 29 bucks and it is a pretty nice release. make sure you use a d loop though or it will tear up your serving. try this website. www.bowhuntingoutfitter.com

Look at the Simms S-coil stabilizer, compact andbest for the money.

+1 to what kelly said The scoil is awesome and relatively inexpensive

Hi guys.I ended up ordering the PSE stinger not from bass pro, but from a local archery store..the guys were really nice. I did infact get the s-coil with it. I got a tru-fire release. The bow should be in towards the end of the comming week and then he said a few days for them to get it ready. Basically it is comming with everything the bass pro model had..the whisker biscuit rest, the f-18 sights...etc etc

I was looking at the whisker biscuit today on another bow set up, and I did ask, this and the guy really didnt answer me as he was helping another cust, and I forgot to ask again...but will the whisker biscuit tear up the fletchings after a while? it appears the "hairs" in there would rip them to shreds to me..??
I am getting the draw weight set at 60..and we measured me for the draw length..which is right at 28...

Now I just need to learn to shoot! hah...I have a few people to teach me the proper form and such..I am really excited about getting this bow...

Sinced it is technically a xmas gift from my fiance to me, (she paid half) she will not let me toy with it until christmass, so I have to just sit there and look at it until then! which is going to be torture!

the total came to about 50$ more than if I would have gotten it at bass pro...but I really like the personal touch these guys have too...they did not treat me like crap, being a newbie...they treated me very well!!

thank you for your suggestions and all the helpguys

anyone that has used a whishker buscuit if you can let me know if it tears up the fletchings?

hmmm so no one uses a whisker biscuit? if anyone does please let me know if it tears up your fletchings after a while?

ok well, I ditched the bisket and got a nice drop away put on the bow...Since it's an xmas gift I still cannot shoot it more than "making sure I like the way it shoots", while we are in the shop...grrrr,
Hell , it's bought and paid for and she is making the pro shop that tuned it hold onto it until the 22nd
it's killing me!!! haha

Anyways, as I said, it's the PSE stinger, I got it set for 60# DW, and 29" DL

This fits me well..

The last thing I am having them put onis the S-coil Stabilizer as well..what length would be sufficient for this set up?
Hopefully, this will be my last question on this.. :)

Thanks for all your help on this, it made the difference guys!
