    Before I buy, or change to, a different piece of equipment I ask myself what I want out of the new piece.

    When I got my current quiver I wanted one that did not place any material on the BH's at all and I wanted cost below $50. The Vortxx fit that bill.

    When I got my current sight(s) I wanted one that was very solid and with micro-adjustability. The SH hunter fit that bill.

    Ask yourself "What are the main features/advantages you want" and then look for equipment that will meet those needs. After you find the various pieces(like 3 or 4 sight models) that meet your needs then look at the "extra benefits" that each one may have that you like more.

    I'm going with the Viper Microtune, QAD Ultrarest, and I'm still unsure about the quiver. Either the bantamweight or a Matthews

    It's an optional prong for the Limb driver....it's pretty simple, but pretty cool too.

    You can get them at www.meanvarchery.com for I think 7.50 or 8 bucks just for the prong.

    I just picked up the Limbsaver M6 quiver, I've been looking for a while and I really liked this one when I saw it. Check it out.

    I wanted pins that didnt block the view as horizontal pins but didnt block the gaps as vertical pins...I went with Vital Gear diagonal pin fixed sights....solid, almost too bright, and just what I needed. I now have the 5 pin version and my 3 pin version is back up.

    I bought the fuse quiver and like it (got it for 40 bucks helped too), but I am not sold on it...Cosmetically pleasing on my Hoyt, but I would rather have a magnetic hood quiver I think that didnt have foam to mess with...detachable is a must for me as well.

    rests, I LOVE my limbdriver, for everything other than being full containment...I think we are working out a sponsorship with QAD in which case I will be switching to the Ultra HD full containment, but if that don't work out, I'll likely buy one anyway to try...I love the sounds of this rest.

    I am probably going to try Victory arrows for this upcoming season, hopefully with firenocks on the tail end.

    Bow is likely to remain the same, unless I come across a steal.
