    just thinking about what i need for my bow to get ready to start shooting again and i was wondering to myself what the most important things on my bow were that i needed to cover, so i was just curious to what do you guys think the most important things on your bows are??

    Mine are:
    stabilizer
    string(which im lookin for a new one)
    release
    rest
    D loop
    Arrows
    Broad heads/Field Points

    i also keep hearing good things about string stoppers, thinkin about gettin one of those too :D

    All serve a purpose but your arrows and broadheads are most important in my book, they do the real work. Dont go cheap on them. A string suppressor is a good addition to most bows

    1. Rest - you can't do anything until this is correct.
    2. Nock point - Needs to be leveled off of your rest.
    3. Sight - fully leveled and tuned
    4. Peep - needs to be coming around and in good position with the sight.
    5. Stabs, quiver, etc.

    You know what they say about rifles...A rifle is only as good as it's optics. Can't aim without a sight unless you can effectively shoot instinctive.

    The most important things for me are my peep & kisser. Those 2 items allow me to shoot as good as I need to. I've hunted umpteen years with cheap rests & sights, but they are important that they function. Everything else is bonus

    My finger tab. I can shoot with bare fingers fairly good but the chance of me plucking Is higher.

    the strings and cables.all the broadheads and arrows and modules all that stuff is absolutely useless with out those items so take good care of you string and cables and you'll not only get good life out of those bows but you'll get better performance

    The most important part of my bow is the Owner.


    Obviously.



    I'm a well-known badass.
