NY911Bowhunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Just wondering if anyone plans on changing their set up for 2005? Looking to upgrade? Why? With what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? I might buy a new bow I haven't decided yet. I have two bows that are more than 5 years old now so it may be time for a new one. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY911Bowhunter Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? Oops, I should prolly post my plans! I plan to have a fully rigged back up bow. Hopefully a Mathews. Plan on having the TR Matrix sight, TT Shakey rest, Sims Modular Stabilizer and a Bohning Lynx quiver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? have no plans on improving my set up---with my brand new AR34 as my primary and J.B.'s old diamond bow as my back up and I am good to go for several years. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? Everything on my New Alpine is brand new but want to improve a few things, such as a Whisker Bisquit Rest, Trophy Ridge 3pin Site( would love to hear from all on pin size reccommendations ) and a top quality caliper realease. As to why I would swap out new accessories, because when I bought this stuff I knew nothing about it and bought cheap. The age old lesson buy quality and buy once.

NY911Bowhunter Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? VTH - I would HIGHLY recommend getting the .029 pins, especially for hunting. Avoid the Guide Series sights, as they seem more suseptable to breakage - althought the replacement for mine has come through deer season well. They are great sights, but like the Stealth Cams - have their quirks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? I was leaning towards the NEW Matrix ViPIN. I am holding out for the price to drop. $132.95...OUCH Thanks for the pin recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? I'm looking at two choices... 1 - Trade my XTEC in for a 2005 Outback or Switchback 2 - Change let-off modules, new string, new arrows for my XTEC.

Jeramie Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? I would love to have a new bow but honestly I cant see why. Ive been shooting the same one for roughly 6 years and it still looks and operates like the day I bought it. Even though I would love a new toy I cant even begin to justify one. I am however getting a new ML. I really want one. I had a new NEF ordered but it fell through and I ended up selling it. I'm now thinking a CVA Optima. You can now get the Nickle Plated one for just over $200. Other then that I need new Cammos. Thats really about it. Dogdoc set me up with some 100grn Muzzy this year and I made the switch from Thunderheads. Not that I don't love thunder heads (they really are the sharpest on the market), I just love the way the Muzzy lock down. They will be on my arrows from now on. I do have plans on picking up a new .223 for Varmint and doe hunting. I am actually suppose to get one for Christmas.... Only time will tell.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? i am thinkin about gettin a new bow...gunna go shoot the new switchback and probly the legacy and see which one i want...then either keep my SQ2 for a backup or give it to my younger cousin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? I am planning on small maintenance stuff... new string, cables and string dampeners for my legacy... other than that I will consider a new sight and arrow rest, with more of a consideration to the rest. I'm sure my guy will suggest just upgrading to a new bow, if he has some real sweet deal I might consider it, but to be honest my Legacy is the best bow I've ever owned and I'm more interested in consistently killing deer than having the newest bow. Other than that I do want to get set up this year for making my own arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: Set Up Improvments for 2005? No change to my setup - Stickn with my 24 y/o bow. Some of you saw it at the Smackdown. Single pin & no release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
