Well, sometimes we go through the grocery store and make an impulse purchase. You know, a pack of gum, a silly tabloid magazine or candy bar. Uh huh, I did it with a GT500 today.
This is a bare bones bow other than a cheap stabilizer that was on it. Supposed to be one season on new strings. Vaportrail strings I think he said. Outside of this, I have a blank canvas to work with.
Keep in mind, I intend on letting Milo go through this bow. He can tweak it, tune it, and dial it in for me. I am willing to pay for service when I know it will be money well spent. It makes it even better knowing my money will go to a fellow TOO brother.
Rest? I have a Ripcord on my Hoyt. I like it. Any suggestions on why I should change? Don't get me wrong, I am open to suggestions. I am not overly partial to Ripcord rests. Quite honestly I thought it was a bit steep in price, but it hasn't failed me so far.
Sight? Currently have a Sword Twilight Hunter sight on my Hoyt. I like it, but there again, I am open to suggestions. I do have an issue being right handed yet left eye dominant. For this reason, I feel I need something that shows up fairly well, yet isn't overly bright. I did see a sight in the last D&DH magazine which showcased a peep eliminator sight. I need to look up the name, but basically it lined up like rifle sights. I liked the idea, but I am curious as to other input from you guys about it.
Trying to think if I am missing anything? I really want to keep it simple. Nothing exotic, but willing to spend some money to have a second bow dialed in and ready to hunt. I am thinking of using the Elite for early season hunts. It should enable me to take some longer shots and I do not intend on lowering the poundage like I have on my Hoyt. I am thinking of using the Hoyt when it is colder since I already have the poundage reduced to 64lbs.
Here are the pictures. She is not a creme puff, but she should hunt. Plenty of battle scars, but then again, this is why I am not afraid to take it out and use the snot out of it!
