But it isn't new....and it isn't "necessary".

But I hear ya (and thanks!). I wouldn't trade it for any TWO compounds anyone could offer.

Check out the set-up below. Could not afford a new bow this year so I made some changes to the one I had. New sight, string & cables and stabilizer. Shoots better than ever...

This is very good advise to heed!!! We can recommend anything and everything to you and at some point you will be recommended anything and everything. Use others recommendations as starting points. Find the equipment YOU fell is the best and provides YOU with the most confidence and you will have the BEST bow and equipment YOUR money can buy!

Now here's my current setup:
2010 Athens Accomplice 34
LimbDriver arrow rest
HHA Optimizer 5519
Victory V1 arrows
Grim Reaper Razortips.

Is that perfect??? For me it's is! But I'm still going to experiment with different things. Before regular season startst I'm going to try some GoldTip Ultralight Series22 Pros. I have the fletched shafts, just need to have them cut and inserts installed.

After the season i'm going to start experimenting with the Omega Elite arrow rest and see if I can get to liking it as much as the LimbDriver.

good luck man! Part of the funt of archery is trying all the new stuff and finding what works best for you!
