    Hey guys, I have just recently purchased a Concept Archery C-32 for those of you that are not familiar with this company they build bows that have a 99% let off. What I am getting at is that I have been out of the bow hunting scene for a long time so I am not sure what is out there now and what is good and what is crap. the bow is naked right now so I need some advice on what to put on there as far as sights, rests, other accessories. they are having a Hunters Extravaganza this weekend in San Antonio and I want to get everything there so if yall could help me soon that would be great. here are the bow specs.

    First of all, welcome to the boards. There is a lot of information available here. What will you be doing with your bow for the majority of the time? Hunting, target shooting, etc. I'll be the first to say, that the accessories make the bow, by the same token, they can also make a bow less than suitable. If you're looking for a fall away style rest, look at Trophy Taker, NAP, Rip Cord to name my favorites. For a full containment style rest that keeps your arrow from falling off at any time look at the Octane Hostage or Hostage Pro, NAP 360, or a whisker biscuit.

    There are also a ton of sights available depending on your price range, but I would recommend a fixed pin sight with an aluminum sight housing and metal pins for durability. My personal favorites are Spot Hogg, Extreme Sights, Axel, and sword sights.

    In my opinion, buying a sight and a rest that have micro adjustable marks is imperative for proper tuning and making the overall experience much less of a headache.

    Good luck. :cool:

    Man Im glad i found a forum that has very well informed people and not a bunch of trash talkers that never help anyone out. I taking a close look at the stuff you mentioned but the only other question that I have now are stabilizers, here in central Texas I will be doing a lot of hog hunting and bow fishing and the occasional white tail hunt when I find a place so in your opinion what do you think is the best stabilizer for me, short, long, heavy, light?

    Look into the Sim S-Coil. They're affordable and they come in all sizes. They help to quite the bow down a bit as well

    Sims S-Coil


    Are you going to be using the same bow to hog/deer hunt with that you're going to be bowfishing with?

    yea but I will of course turn it down so I wont stake the fish to the bottom of the lake. LOL. the bow I have has got a 99% let off so it will be perfect for holding the draw till I get that perfect shot on one of these 150 pound Texas gator gar!

    The best thing is to take the bow to a pro shop and let them set up your length and draw weight.
