Ok, now that I have got my new Hoyt. I need to outfit it... Quiver, stabalizer, sight, rest... Quiver is easy.. between Hoyt 2 piece and a Fuse Posi Lite (Fuse wins this one), stabalizer.. once again between one of the many doinker's or fuse, (pretty sure fuse wins again) Now when it comes to sight and rest.. this is where I cant make up my mind... Some ppl say trophy taker, others whisker biscuit, and trophy ridge dropzone.. I will be shooting carbon 300's.. And sights.. Ive looked at HHA single pins, trophy ridge matrix I think it was... HELP ME!!!

well for rests click on "Golden Key" in my sig line .... and sights click on "Cobra"
you cant go wrong with any of those companys ..... I was shooting them even before they were a web site sponsor
the Biscuit is a good rest ...but hard on fletches because of all the contact .... theres a few cures ...and I found a couple work ... The TT and DZ are fallaways ..kinda a gimmick .... set up properly there is no flecth contact ...but I dont like them so much for hunting ..... if youre using primarily for hunting I would suggest some sort of Containment rest ..... once you nock an arrow ...it stays on yer rest ....no matter how hard you bump yer bow .... heck the good ones you can be hanging upside down from yer stand after falling asleep and falling out ...and still shoot the Buck of a lifetime ..... Always wear yer safty harness ...........

Yes the bow will be mostly used for hunting with the occasional 3d shoot... So as for a containment rest.. what would you suggest?
I've got a couple of pennies to throw in. As far as sights go, Cobra has been awesome for me. I've talked with guys who use Trophy Taker, but they say the vertical pin system blocks too much sight when using the lower pins. For rests, I use a biscuit with the v-cut.
Very quick and easy to knock an arrow, and the peace of mind knowing that my arrow is always in the ready position without finger cramps from holding it on is unbeatable. That's all for hunting purposes though. And that's my two cents.

I know some people that use the APA Ultimate ....a Canadian company ... pretty good rest ..

Heres a link with all the Golden Key Containment rests

I personally like the GKF Mirage ....its a Containment crossbred with a fallaway

Revolutionary Fall-Away Rest provides the fastest, cleanest launch without the extra, bulky and complicated attachment arms of other Rests.Patented Super Scoop™ Launcher quietly rises as you draw to capture,center and lift the arrow into shooting position.At release the launcher drops away long before the fletching reaches it for total clearance
a great hunting sight is the Cobra sidewinder

Ok, well most of the goodies are on the way for the bow now.. I went with an Alpine Archery whisperflite drop away rest, Trophy Ridge Matrix Guide Series 3 pin sight, Hoyt 2 piece quiver to go with my Hoyt bow..(they matches)... lol Doinker a-bomb stabilizer, 1 dozen Radial X-Weeve arrows, NAP Nitron 100gr broadheads. Now just cant wait for it all to arrive so I can set her up and get to the range before bear season starts..
