    Sight : I've owned Copper John's, G5's, TruGlo, Trophy Ridge, and Viper. Viper is as solid as they come IMO.

    Rest : I've had a ton of them too. LimbDriver all the way for me. If I was solely a hunter, I'd probably have to consider the WB, but I've hunted with my LD for years now and had no issue.

    Quiver: I like the Octane 1 pc magnetic hood, but lately I've been running with the Q5 Ultralite.

    I currently have:

    Spott Hogg Right on Sight
    Trophy Taker Xtream FC Rest
    Bohning 4 arrow one piece quiver

    If I had to change anything I would swap out the Trophy Taker rest for a NAP Apache.

    My current set-up (see my signature below) has been my favorite by far. However there are a few changes I want to try this year. I want to try out the Apache rest. I have never shot a fall away and would like to give it a try. I also am not as happy with my sight now as I was when I first got it. There is a noise that has developed in the sight when I take a shot and I can not find what is loose that is causing it. This makes me think it is in the housing somewhere that I cant get to. So I'd like to give the Axcel Armotech sight a shot. I know for sure I'll make the switch to the Apache, not 100% sure funds are going to allow a switch of the sights this year.

    Sight: I personally think you're hard pressed to find something more rock solid than an Axcel Armortech. Close runner-up would be a new Spot Hogg w/armored pins. I'll never shoot another sight that doesn't have fully protected fiber optics - period.

    Rest: Sticking with rock-solid durability I like the NAP Apache. I haven't seen or heard a single negative report about this rest. It's pretty much bulletproof. I beat up my gear pretty good and my Apache looks like brand new still.

    Quiver: This is touchy for me. I like the Alpine Soft-Loc quite a bit and have owned several of them. For the budget-minded bowhunter they're great. However, there are a few really nice higher end quivers out there as well. Do they make you a better bowhunter? No. But they are very nice, well built and versatile. I'm speaking specifically of the Tight Spot, the Treelimb, and the Mathews ArrowWeb.

    My new set up will have a Vital Gear Kazaway rest, G5 Optix XR sight, and a Tight Spot quiver! Can't wait to shoot it. :rock:

    Single pin rear adustable HHA
    Multi pins Spot Hogg or Viper

    2. Rests
    Vapor Trail Limb Driver
    Ripcord Code Red

    3. Quivers
    Alpine Soft Loc
    Fuse
    TreeLimb
    Tight Spot

    Depends on what you like I guess, I've always used multiple pin sights, I think it's easier to use the other pins instead of sliding my sight to range.
