Default What would you do?

OK, heres the scenario. I'll detail my set-up and I'd like input as to what anybody would change or add to improve it. The catch is that the budget you have is only $100 to spend.

Bow - Mathews Legacy
String -Zebra String
Rest - NAP Quicktune 3000
Sight - Impact Trio
Stabilizer - Golden Key Tranquilizer
Quiver - Alpine Softloc 5 arrow
Limbsavers - Sims
Arrows - Goldtip XT 5575 Camo
Broadheads - Muzzy 100gr 3-blade
Release - Trufire X-caliper

With only $100 to spend what would you spend it on to get the maximum inmprovement on this set-up?

Ok, sell the bow on Ebay and then use the $100 and the money you get from the bow and buy a new one.....



I am joking ofcourse.

JeffB's signature line is a quote that ArthurP made here some time ago. To summarize, forget the rest of the new fangled gadgets on the market and just get a really good set of arrows. Nothing wrong with those Goldtips but there are straighter, more durable arrows out there now. My suggestion would be to pick up a dozen of the Easton Axis STs. Definitely worth the money.

New string, those Zebra twists are junk, I measured mine the other day and it has stretched 1 1/2" (Berry strings, Winners Choice, Or Stone Mountain) and maybe a new release, Like a Scott Little Goose

I would get rid of the zebra twist for sure and then consider what Frank said about the arrows.

I knew somebody would be a comedian and tell me to trash the Mathews.

Sorry, I forgot to list the peep.

I have a Fletcher Tru-Peep and am using a string loop.
