Need some help here it has been about 9 years since ive been bowhunting and i just bought a used but in great condition mathews ultra-max and was wondering if i could get some opinions on sites, string silencers, arrows, and broad heads. alot of thing have changed since ive done this. any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome! Give us some idea about you draw length, draw weight, species you're hunting and all that good stuff and you'll find lots of useful information
Get you a good sight with bright fiber optic pins. There are tons of them out there, I happen to like Extreme sights. But everyone will have a different opinion. String silencers: cat wiskers still do the job for me and last longer than most of the rest. Go to a pro shop and have them look up the arrow size you need on an arrow chart. Carbon arrows will last you longer than aluminum. Broadheads: There are a lot of good mechanicals out there now, that fly great and make big holes. But the fixed blade heads are more foolproof and still kill plenty of game too. The new gear issues of the bowhunting mags usually come out soon. You might want to check out some of them.
I don't hunt with a compound anymore so I don't have the slightest Idea what you should go with when It comes to accessories on your compound. I do hunt with a recurve though and I do use Aluminum arrows. There cheaper (money wise) and just as good as a Carbon's as far as I'm concerned. They both have there pluses. As for broad heads, you don't need to spend a ton there either. There's many good BH's out there that will do the job and at the same time won't cost you an arm and a leg. I myself am a fixed blade guy. In my opinion If your looking to shoot a fixed blade BH Magnus Is a company you should look Into. There BH's have a lifetime warranty and there damn good heads. There very decent In price. Good luck when you get it all set up again!!!
As JM mentioned you'll have lots of options with just about everything you want to buy all depending on how much money you want to spend. I'll list some common favorites and you can check out what you like. Sights: Spot-Hogg, Copper John, Extreme, Tru-Glo & Cobra all make good products. Carbon Arrows: Easton (which are Beaman also), Gold-Tip & Carbon Extpress Fixed Blade Broadheads: Slick Trick, Magnus, Muzzy & Montec String Silencers are pretty much personal preference... Good luck and let us know what you figure out.
Thank yall for all the product advice. Back when i was bowhunting before i shot a 3 bladed wasp but there are so many different broad heads now. but i was looking at muzzy, magnus, and crimson talon because im definatly more interested in a fixed blade, just not too sure about those expandables any other advice on anything else i might wanna look into is well appreciated also Thank yall
