Bow Setups

[Kyle]

Hey everyone
I bought the Reflex Exursion and im wondering what all i should put on it. So i was wondering what everyone had for setups like rest stabilizers sights etc.
Thanks

i have the same bow. i still have the sights and quiver that came on it, but i plan on changing the sight soon. i put on speed lizard string silencers, ultra limb savers for split limbs, vibracheck icon stabilizer, whisker bisquit droptine qs rest(for carbon arrows), tru-ball cyclone release, and a peep sight. thats all i can think of at this point. hope this helps.

Kyle,
Setting up your bow will fall into various situations. I have no idea how much experience you have in archery equipment or bow hunting. Sorry if this post is vague, but I am not one for talking up just any equipment. I will say that you might want to consider a fall away rest.

What style are you interested in hunting instinctive or full out accessories ?
Do you want speed or penetration ?
Will you buy a product for esthetic reasons before practicality ?
Are you willing to settle for what is necessary or continue to finance the marketing game ?
In relation how much money are you willing to put into a product ?

Try not to fall to much into the hype of a product. Educate yourself with your bow and all that is practical for it. What works for some people may not be what works for you.
Reflex is a very good bow I am partial to the Hoyt line which they are affiliated. Try asking what other bowsmen put on there reflex and why they think it to be there best decision.
Sometimes simplicity out ways extravagance.

Digger,
Have you thought about taking the shine off the aluminum portions of your stabilizer? I need a pair of cheep sun glasses LOL
A little flat black or drab green paint would solve it.

Kyle I think passthrew is right. It's very important to equip your bow with the best your wallet can afford. I shoot a three pin HHA fiberoptic sight(6 feet of fiberoptics), trophy taker shaky hunter fall away rest limb savers,svl system by sim's,hunting peep,string loop,zeebra string,string leaches,gel stabelizer,scott little goose release,beeman ics camo 400's,wrist sling, rocket side winder expandables,svl grip insulater and mole skin around my arrow shelf. Another great addition to my archery equipment was a bushnell yardage pro scout rangfinder. I also use white fletchings and white dipped arrows. This allows me to follow my arrow better to see where my shot was placed. And remember No matter what they say about speed, it comes with a price(NOISE). You cant make and arrow fly faster than the speed of sound, I have tried. Deer can jump the string or drop. I shot at a doe last year at 35yds, my buddy hunted there the night before and shot at a three legged doe. She came back out and stood braude side. At the release she dropped like I spined her,got up and ran off with her tail up. All I had was dirt!!!!

i have a hoyt invader bow and was wondering if anyone knows about when they were made it is a 70#to80#bow

I pride myself in my archery skills as a hunter. Don't fall for price and fashion. I shoot a Martin Phanton Mag Impact archery pendelum and Whisker Bis. or my Bowtech Patriot both are set up Identical. I have tuned hundreds of bows that shot great with what ever accessories the owner bought. The biggest thing about bow setup is making it shoot straight everytime. Don't worry as much about speed as accuracy and quiteness. Most hunting bows are in the 270-290 fps range and until they come out with one over 400fps a deer can jump the string so be carefull of noise..practice doesn't make perfect, only perfect practice does that. Papajohn likes the savage pend. sight which is a good sight on a budget but the Impact Archery is the brightest non-lighted bowsight in the world. Dependind on which savage sight it, come with a small florescent bowl that needs to be charged with a light source to make it visable in low light.
As for poundage it doesn't take that much kinetic energy to pass thru a whitetail. 63 pounds seems to be the norm for anything to 35yrds. When you consider arrows remember that a slightly heavier arrow will hold its velocity better at longer ranges. Light arrows come out blazing but will slow more rapidly. I guess I should stop now
