RE: Bow Advice
The biscuit probably would have been ok for you to start out with. thats what i am currently using on all my bows but i'll be goin to the octane hostage.
I also use the shorter s-coil on mine. i think its like a 6".

RE: Bow Advice
Glad to see you are getting into archery! Its good that the pro shop treated you the way they did, and even though it was a little more costly, with your inexperience (no offense at all) I think you will be much happier in the long run. About the WB. They dont tear off fletchings unless they are not done very well. A WB is a very good rest, but you should be fine with the drop away. Make SURE they set it up for you though, b/c you dont need the headache of timing a drop away. Good luck with it.
Btw, i pm'ed you

RE: Bow Advice
hey guys, just an update...I LOVE MY BOW!!!!
The bow is shooting GREAT, and I'm hooked...I've been shotting it almost everyday, and my arm feels like it's about to fall off...soooo sore today!!!
At 20 yards my groups are about the size softball..which still needs improvement I know, but at first they were all over the palce.... it's such a good feeling seeing yourself improve and the groups getting tighter.. 30 yards , I still need some work :P
There is only one thing bugging me, I thought my bow was pretty quiet, but I was shooting with a buddy and he stated it was "kind of loud" ever since I've been focusing on it when I shoot now...and I guess it does have a bit of a "TWANG" noise when shot...it's not really loud, but it's there...
How do you guys quiet it down? I just am looking for some opinions on how to quiet it down w/o losing a lot of speed.....it came with two little rubber things which I guess are sound dampeners..one on each end of the cable below the cams.....
but overall I am very pleased with the PSE stinger for my first bow.
The arrows I purchased are redhead carbon fury..which shoot pretty good for me, and they aren't too pricey
any opinions on quieting it down? something I can add myself w/o having to take the bow into the bow shop?
