QDMAworks4me Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Welcome to the forums, what kind of stuff are you looking to buy? I buy all my stuff at my local dealer, he treats me pretty well because I always buy from him, and for some reason he seems to get a lot of my extra money haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I buy most of my accessories from Bass pro.The pro shops around here are all quite a bit higher pricewise.Up in Minnesota you may want to check Scheels or Fin and Feather. By the way,welcome to the RT forums!What part of Minnesota are you from?I use to live about 30 miles from Mankato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Welcome to the forums. I usually buy most of my accessories from my dealer as well. Bass Pro Shops has treated me well when I have bought things from them. I bought my sight, a Copper John Dead Nuts 3 or 4 years ago and I love it. It's a very durable sight.

Straight Shooter Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hey jr and welcome to the forums! It good to hear your getting into bowhunting and now get ready for the addiction bug to bite you! LOL Getting accessories for your bow is kind of like a rat race. Lots of places to get them but few will have the better prices. I like to get most of my stuff from Archery Experts, Bass Pro Shop, and Cabela's. The later of the two I mentioned are more expensive on the arrows and broadheads but great for other accessories. Also, there is Apple Archery, lots of great stuff at good prices. Just do some surfing on prices and you'll get hooked up on some good stuff. Good luck to you and have fun shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Welcome to Realtree and bowhunting. Since you're new to bowhunting, I'd recommend getting your first bunch of accessories from your pro-shop. The reason is you'll need some help getting started and setting everything up. If you buy off E-bay or somewhere else to save a couple bucks, your pro-shop may not be excited to install everything for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Listen to Finn, Find a good pro shop now and develop a relationship. It might cost a little more, but after going the Wal-Mart route when I started out I know how valuable a good pro shop can be. In addition, use this forum to ask members what we think of particular equipment. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nirwi Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hey Jr, being it's a Matthews it would be wise to get it accessorized at a pro shop that deals them. But, if you need to save some money or are cheap like me then look no further then Bass Pro or Dicks Sporting Goods. But a word to the wise, Bass Pro's customer service in archery is not all that great so you're better off having an experienced friend help you to put it all together and make the adjustments or by the accessories and take it to a pro shop. They will help you for a small fee even though you didn't buy them from them. Although they will kind of tell you that you should have bought this and that, it's all good. Nice choice on the DXT my friend! I own a Diamond Black Ice so that sort of makes us rivals, lol. No, just kidding. I'm pretty new to it myself so I just bought a TruGlo single pin Range rover sight from Walmart.com for $65, a hostage arrow rest for $40, a Bohning 4 arrow quiver at Bass Pro for $31, and a TruGlo Nullifier Stabelizer at Bass Pro for $27. My arrows are Gold Tip XT Hunters with a .003 straightness. Not to mention they are one tough arrow. Let's see, what else is there. Oh, bought some Slick Tricks broad heads and a MeanV string suppressor from MeanVarchery.com, I think is the site. Good luck brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
