    Black gold sights have the best pins, Spot Hogg are probably the toughest. I’d recommend a multi pin slider. You can have the regular 20-30-40 etc for hunting and then dial for the long bomb practicing. Make sure you get something with 3-axis adjustment if you are shooting anything other than flat ground.
    whisker biscuits are simple but you will lose some arrow speed.
    Hamskea probably makes the best drop away rests.
    Buy the accessories used off Rokslide or Archery Talk, there’s always guys upgrading.
    I can’t help you on stabilizers, you probably need one or two but I made my own. They seem pretty expensive for what they are.

    I ordered a sight today.

    https://b3archery.com/product/exact-hunter-5/

    It was in my price range with decent reviews.

    I'm thinking i'll go with a whisker biscuit,the Trophy Ridge Sure Shot Pro looks suitable.

    I just need to settle on some arrows,so i know what size biscuit to get.

    I've been looking at the easton 6.5 hunters,any thought good or bad about these arrows.

    Chilliwack dart n tackle also sells bows, I think they have a bow tech there. What happened at Boormans? I’ve never been, just curious what your experience was.

    Hey, anyone have advices of how to choose a bow second hand? As a first bow is it a bad idea?

    Thank you

    I think used is a great way to get into it if you know what you are looking for,i was unable to find a used bow with a suitable draw length so i bought a new one.

    Yeah will look into, not sure what I need. So might just go to a bow store first to talk with them.
