    I got this baby about a month ago but have not had any time to do anything with it yet (or any of my sutff to set it up). I hope to have it all finished up by this weekend....

    I am going for as lite weight of a setup as possible with out compromising the quality of the accessories.

    I think I know what all I want but I am open for suggestions. :)

    Obviously the opinions on accessories is extremely personal. So, for me I would set it up like this.
    Sight: Montana Black Gold Amp, 4 pin
    Rest: G5 Expert-II
    Stab: ExtremeArchery ACAD
    Peep: Rad Peep 3/16''
    Dampening: BowJax

    My idea might change if I knew exactly what you wanted to do with the bow. Mostly sight options. Deer bow, back-country bow, etc...

    Good Lookin Bow!

    If lightweight was priority, I'd be setting up with the following:

    • Spot-Hogg Real Deal Wrapped - (7.3oz)
    • Whisker Biscuit Sure Shot Pro
    • Sims X-Coil Stabilizer
    • Octane BantamWeight (assuming your shooting fixed heads still)

    Spot hogg for the sights (although I am sure they do not help in the light as possible catagory)
    Limb driver
    meta peep
    Octane stab since you can add or reduce the weight (7" of course) or Doinker simply because I have seen some very very short ones and assume they are light...most of the reviews on this bow say you really do not need one so the smaller the better for weight.

    Wish I had your dilema and can't wait to see the finished product.

    Put a Quicktune Freedom rest on it. It's a drop away. Shoot it... then get back to me if you like it or not before I buy one !!

    I like the looks of this rest but can't get much feed back on it. No strings and " should " be fool proof. I hate to be the guinea pig !! :)

    I have been using the octane pro rest and I have really liked it.

    As for the other stuff I like octane stablizer and a HHA site

    Well since I have the same one;

    Mine carries a

    Viper Pro MT sight,
    LimbDriver
    Octane 11.5" stabilizer.

    (quiver yet to be determined but if you want light, the new Diamond quiver is as light as you can buy. )

    It might not be the "light" your looking for but That's just how I roll. ;-) :cool:

    Take a look at CBE's fixed pin hunting sights. They are the lightest sights I've laid hands on.

    If you are interested in one of these I could probably get you a little better deal on one. I'm not sure how much they retail for. CBE makes an excellent sight though. I use their slidebars for target and hunting.

    We can always count on you for one thing, Rob. Seems like each of your rigs has Viper, Octane, and Vapor trail accessories installed. :D Not hatin' just sayin.' Your bow looks awesome!

    I'd venture to say it's not a tuning fork like "other" bows you may be referring to. :D
