    Mathews MQ1,rip cord,truglo sites,easton axis 400.

    recently shot Mathews heli-m,creed,monster chill,ZXT,mission(monster chill copy)also shot Hoyt spider 30 after all was done I was talking with a informative shooter who told me to try the Prime bows.. I asked my guy at the shop if he had any set up and he replied "do you have a credit card?"because your going to buy one..so guess what??? I bought the Prime Shift in that awsome looking Optifade forest, g5 rock site(in optifade forest), and a QAD rest. Still waiting for it....should be in soon..
    I still do like Mathews and Hoyt, but Prime is a major player now. GREAT Shooter!Great Warrenty. new strings and cables every 2 years- free..

    2013 Bowtech Assassin. At this point, I am shooting the R.A.K Package, because I recently started shooting a bow, and don't really know what's good and what's bad. I'm sure I will be adding things to it as I go on though.

    So far so good. I'm not a huge fan of having to reset the arms after every shot, but I think it's worth the trade of having 100% complete containment and light weight. I know people who are concerned about the noise it makes on the shot, but to be honest the noise of the bow is louder than the rest and you can't even hear it.

    Hey justin, could you tell me something about the new maxima red arrows. How are they compared to the hunters and blue streaks, or differences? Would appreciate it, thanks.

    Axcel Armortech HD
    Ripcord Code Red
    FUSE Axium Stabilizer
    Trophy Ridge 4-Banger Quiver

    I may end up upgrading my bow to a 2013 Hoyt Spyder 30, and the quiver may switch to a Tight Spot (or Fuse's version of it).
