Spott Hogg sights cause they are the best pin sight there is.

The Timberline No_Peep cause I hate peep sights.

I agree with the Spott Hogg sight they are a darn great sight but I also like the Impact Archery Cosmic sight as well. As for the Timberline No Peep I'm interested to find out more about them and then i might just have to add to my collection of accessories.The Stealth Stabilizer's a great Stabilizer as well .And number 1 arrow rest has got to be the Muzzy Zero Effect.

I'm currently using a Cobra Easy Slide and a large Shurz-a-peep which works well for me

After 25 years of messing around with different accessories on my compounds, I finally decided I don't like any of 'em and went back to traditional.

Really though, if you want a complete list of my favorite accessories:

Sights were Archers Choice. Simple, sturdy, easy to adjust, would not vibrate loose, VERY good fiber optics and - very important for me - relatively inexpensive for the quality.

For target shooting, you can't beat the Fletcher TruPeep. On a hunting setup, I'd go with the Shurz-a-peep 2X2.

My favorite rest for release shooting is GKF's Golden Premier. Period. End of discussion.

Stabilizer (or shock absorber, if you will) is the Doinker Shorty. I used it by itself for knocking around in the woods. I made an 8" aluminum extension to mount it on for target shooting.

Gotta have Limbsavers! One of the very few 'newfangled' products that actually delivers what it promises.

Catwhiskers for string silencers. Very functional, very durable if installed properly (my whiskers usually outlast the string) and very inexpensive.

I would not shoot a release without using a string loop.

Favorite release was a Scott Little Goose. If - or when - I ever go back to release, I'll very likely switch to the Copper John Eagle 4 T-handle. I really don't like wrist straps or glove type releases.

For fingers shootin', I like the Damascus glove and my favorite rest is Cavalier's FreeFlyte micro.

Really though, my eyes have gotten so bad I can't see sight pins any longer. So when I shoot my compounds now, it's fingers and barebow. Doing that, I figured I might as well be carrying an 18 ounce longbow or 2 pound recurve around with me instead of a 5-6 pound compound. [&:]
