NO, I would take and get a 5 pin fiber sight( Toxonics® SolidLock™ Bow Sight with Harmonic Dampener) is what I went with and get a new drop away rest a (Quality Archery Designs Ultra-Rest Pro HD Drop-Away Arrow Rest) . get these and bring it to me or take it to a proshop and super tune it and you will be good to go. you might have to play around with the arrow to find out witch one has the right spine and the draw length and the arrow lenght. and tip weight you will be shooting.

Its okay for a newbie. My son shoots one and doe good with it. When he gets a smoother pull he will up grade to a drop away. The whiskers will wear the fletching out faster than normal but they are good.

Hey G. Here's a decent site to deal with,to look at the new stuff,or for reference:
What's the brace height measurement on your bow? What poundage you shoot?

Kinda why i wanna get it tuned by a "COMPETENT" person.....Wish brandon was closer but may just have to go down one weekend and just get him to help me if i get serious

The brace hight should be right at 7 for that bow and I would think if its tight all the way down around 63 at the most. Just make sure they check can alignment and the tiller, beger hole with D-loop. They are simple to set up and paper tune.

Brace height is the measurement of the distance in line from the lowest point in the grip to the string. Get serious! Bowshooting/hunting is GREAT. Be nice if you could find a local pro shop to deal with. Start asking around. 7" @ 63#. Same as mine! That bow ought to be a smooth shooter. Edited by 300S&W - April/09/2010 at 07:43 |

If you bought the new string, I'll send you a guy who makes them and makes really good ones.It wouldn't take but maybe an hour to swap strings,rst,sight and get the bow set up for you, paper tune, and sighted in for 45 yards with the new sight. If your able to come down give me a week notice I have some traviling going on and need to see how the schedule is.

it will be a few months or so but i may do that before the fall. I just called a shop that charges $75.00 and hour for bow work! i'd rather drive down visit and all versus paying that. Even if in the long run it will be more it would be worth it.
