Got the new bow! Now for sights and rest!

[mattys281]

I'd avoid the .019 fibers, due to them being much more fragile than the .029. If you shoot 3" groups at 100 yards (like someone on here we all know, ) then you need the small pins, but if you shoot a more modest group like the rest of us mere mortals, I don't think the benefits of the small diameter wire offset the lack of ruggedness, especially given the crap terrain that I usually end up in. I use the Cobra Sidewinder 5 pin (.029 of course) & think it's a great sight. It's also much lighter than the Spot Hog & others mentioned. Spot Hog's can drive nails alright, because they're as heavy as a hammer and may be an good substitute for a ball-peen. Why buy a Black Ice which is a super light bow (3.8 lbs!) & then load it down with heavy accesories?

 

As for the rest, I use a NAP Quiktune 2000 drop away. Again, the deciding factor here is ruggedness. It uses a steel cable instead of a braided cord to raise the launcher, so it is virtually indestructible, no matter what kind of crap you hunt in. & if you're truck gets stuck, you can use that steel line to tow it out. Ok, it's not the tough, but almost.

I shoot a Spott Hogg and a Ultra-Rest...

 

BUT no matter what rest you get make sure it is micro adjustable. It will make tuning ALOT easier...
