I used the same stabilizer on my bow, gave good balance and cancelled vibration which makes sound. shhhhh. Looks like a drop away rest, and a peep, You gotta big hole in the peep for low light? I always liked the small grips of a mathews as I have small hands. I would cover everything in the riser area and the bottom and sides of the site with felt so the arrow won't make any noise if it comes in contact with anything. shhhhh. Good lookin bow, you did good!

The stabilizer is off my old bow and is at least 15 years old. It works well but will be replaced with a "Cool" one in the future. The peep is a good size and when its right up to my eye I can see the world through it. I would like to get a new set of sights first. The one that came on the bow is old and very bulky. Then once the sights go a whisper biscuit guide. After that and the Cool stabilizer I should be set for many years to come. At least until I can't stand it anymore and have to have a newer model.....:good:

Well I took the bow in to swap the 27" Cam for a 29" Cam and discovered the String and cables were far to long and I was losing a lot of power as the Cam was not fully engaging before I maxed out the pull.....CRAP!!!!! Well another $160 to swap all that out and I am slamming the X at 25 yards. I ran out of time and was not able to sight it is at 40 yard so that will come in the next few days. The bow is sweet though even though I could have picked up a much newer bow for the $400 I am into her now. It is super quiet and feels great in the hand. Now to upgrade the sights and guide which will run me close to another $100+. This durn thing is a money pit.

New, a good bare bow can cost between 500-1000 bucks, then add on the sights, stabilizer, quiver, arrows, etc. etc. Your still doing good!
Pictures please!:good2::good:

While it is not $160 the seller did refund me $50 to help me out with the unexpected cost. I had already left positive feedback so there was nothing that made him do it just the goodness of his heart. I know goodwill like this is in no short supply on WB but it is on feebay and it was unexpected and greatly appreciated and I let the seller know. It was an honest mistake and he made as good as he could on it.

That was really cool of him to do that! Maybe send him a small turning as a token of your appreciation. He wont expect that either. I truely believe that what goes around comes around. There is nothing that pleases me more than giving someone one of my turnings. I got the fun of making it, and the joy of giving it away, even better when they don't expect it. I see this happen here on our forum all the time. :biggrin:

Just got some new sights in and threw them on the bow. They are pretty cool. They have a violet LED to light up the pins in low light and a glow in the dark ring around the pins. Maybe not so cool to some but compared to what I have had in the past this sight is freakin awesome for $36 new in box but older model. Off to get my arrows cut to fit my bow and sight her in.
