ajohunter Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Ok everyone, as you will know from my other thread I was getting your input for my new bow. I have archery hunted for the last 16 years but input from others is always appreciated! I bought the Bowtech Diamond Black Ice. Now I am asking your opinions on sights and rests preferred by all of you. I guess you could say im trying to make a CWT.com edition bow from all the input!.... Thanks everyone!

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 I like have a black gold sight and it is nice. i prefer the .019 sights over the .029 by leaps and bounds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steward224 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 If you like to spot and stalk then I would recommend a whisker biscuit rest or the pse drop away. I think they are the best. Have fun!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikep35 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 I have a drop away that I absolutely love and it has a small rubberized bar that keeps the arrow from falling off when you turn it to the side. I also have a 4-pin Optix sight that I really like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Spott-Hog sights and Trophy Taker rest Ditto to what elmergoo said. For the trophy taker they have new rest out that you do not need to worry about. Here is a link for that rest http://www.trophytaker.com/arrow_rests.asp...type=arrow_rest My dad just picked up his first bow a few months ago and got the black ice also along with a trophy taker pronghorn and the spott hogg wrapped 5 pin. I highly recomend the spott hog wrapped sites since they are so easy to adjust and are really bright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Rest-Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter Sight- Cobra Sure Loc Sidewinder 5 pin .019 is the only way to go, personally I believe spot hogg is overrated. Quiver-Trophy Ridge I also used the whisker biscuit and I liked it as a beginners rest, but it can not match a drop away for accuracy and consistancy. I'm just dissapointed that you didn't get a Mathews Catch me if you can!!!!! Have fun and happy hunting!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Regarding the sights with wrapped fibers, you might find that with closely spaced pins of a fast bow that they will glow so brightly in direct sunlight that the glow/halo will obscure the target. Also, I have found that as light dims at dusk, I cannot see the target before I cannot see the pins when looking through my peep. Ask to look at some wrapped-fiber pins in direct sunlight, not in the store light, for your own decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youngbuck Report post Posted December 6, 2007 i shoot a 7 deadly pins with a ripcord rest. I think a few companies make rests like that now, just another one to look at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzly Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Ripcord is the best rest by far out there, I have put it on my last 4 bows and probably will on my next four. As for the sights I have the Spott hogg seven deadly pins on one of my bows and am not that impressed with it for all of the money it cost. I like my Toxonics alot, also the Dusk Devil 2 by Montana Black Gold. If you decide you want the Spott hogg Pm me and I will hook you up with mine cheap.
