Lightest - rests, sights, quiver?
 

Not taking about junk.......what are your suggestion on the best lightweight assesories (rest - sight - quiver) to put on a lightweight new set-up? What should I check-out?

Thanks!

For a light-simple-high quality quiver look no-further than the Kwikee 3-Arrow. For rests I would recommend Trophy Taker. Simple, clean, reliable. For sights, I wouldn't worry about weight. They are all pretty comparible. I use a Vital Bow Gear sight as I like an adjustable single vertical pin sight, that is crazy bright!

Lone Wolf.....those 3 items you mentioned are all very light, and that might be what I go with. I really dont knowe what lighter than a short bar Trophy Taker. The quiver is probably a 3 arrow Kwickee or a similar Bohning. The sights if you want a adjustable, Vital Gear is less than 5.5 onces. If I went to a basic single pin Carolina Archery which is about 3 onces I could save alittle.

Thanks!

I too was thinking the Kwikee...

For sights, the Archer's Choice Grizzly seems pretty darn light. Three fiber-optic pins, but not much weight.

Seems like an NAP Quicktune would be pretty light, no matter which series you went with.

You're not going to affect weight much unless you do something more drastic, like taking the quiver off(my choice). Also, shooting without a sight, will drop a noticable amount of weight. Lighter setups are more easily acheived by avoiding parallel limb bows - long risers are simply heavy. You can save anywhere from 1/2 to a full pound by switching back to a traditional style riser/limb configuration. They have more recoil, but shoot just as accurately as any other bow.

I'm one who has never enjoyed hunting with a heavy setup. This year I'll be spending some time in the field with a longbow and hip quiver. It weights something less than a pound. ;)

Wouldn't that be nice on a long, long trek to a distant stand? :D
