RE: Here she is...09 admiral
ORIGINAL: JeffB Congrats! One suggestion- get rid of the rubber tube peep sight- you have probably the best stock harness on the market- there is really no need for that peep tube- it just slows ya down, makes more noise, and they can & do fail and will hit you smack dab in your eye. Once these octane strings settle-which is not many shots, they are rock solid- My peep hardly ever moved on my Admiral. Not enough for me to bother putting a 1/4 twist in the string. Once you get a Tru-Peep or G5 Meta peep set in you will never go back to a peep that has a rubber tube attached. Also a couple of things you might think about are, getting a loop on it. I shoot off the string but bows as short as the Admiral I'm sure wouldbenefit from a loop. An Octane Hostage Pro, or a Limb Driver upgrade would also be a good improvement. It's only money!;) Enjoy the Admiral I say you just bought the Bow of the Year:D Dan |

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
She's a beauty! Almost enough to make me consider selling my Drenalin and getting a Bowtech!:D Personally, I'm holding out and waiting for Bowtech to come out with a bow named after an enlisted Navy rank. I really don't want a Commander, a Captain or an Admiral in my house. When they come out with "The Chief", I'll buy it![8D]
Of course, if they did name a bow "The Chief", it would have to be heavy, slow, harsh and make a lot of noise on release.:D:D |

Understand about doing things slow. Nothing is cheap anymore. The good thing about top notch accessories is that they can be passed on to new Bows down the road. I just put my Limb Driver, and HHA Optimizer ontheir3rd bow. I paid more for the sight than I did my first new compound.;) Dan |

I think i have been using the same rest and stabilizer for about 7 or 8 years. Back when I purchased them they were decent components. Nowadays they are antiques  |

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
