May move to a 2 pin sliding sight but in no rush. i am lucky enough to be able to shoot daily (unless it stays -20) so hoping to keep up the 50-100 shots per week till hunting season.

I just use a biscuit. Simple, safe and secure.

X2 on the biscuit.

Since you are happy with the release then in order of importance to me would be to get:

* Whisker Biscuit - Quiet, secure, nothing to break or mess up, and no noticeable difference of FPS

* Sight - especially for new bowhunters I'd go with a fixed three pin and medium sized protected fibre optics. Look to higher end product with third axis adjustment.

* Quiver - Tight Spot makes some nice ones but there are others too - quiet and room for five arrows.

* String and Cables

No matter how good you shoot at targets most important is to ONLY take shots within your 100% certain comfort zone - for me that means 25 yards on deer, 30 for elk for starters. Oh and get out to shoot as many 3-D courses as possible.

Welcome to the brother/sisterhood!! Its addicting!

I bought a rest as my first upgrade. I started with a whisker biscuit then move up to a QAD... bought a hamskea last year so I could try out a limb driven rest. My second upgrade was a stabilizer... the stock one i had only helped with vibration not weight distribution.

I also have a Drive 3B, had it for a year and a half now. Keep shooting, it’s on you to be consistent and the upgrades will be a bonus. It still might be early to decide on upgrading the multi pin sight. I would suggest a new stabilizer with more weight up front. Mine is 9” but I could maybe do 3” longer and heavier (but I can’t remember how many ounces I have). That’s all personal preference, and with a back bar too.
