a HOYT? not for me. i shoot fingers, haven't had a problem with whisker biscuts, so that'll go on there. limbsavers whether it needs em or not. it's a really balanced bow, so not to extreme of a stabilizer. i was thinkin the limbsaver s coil, or one of the octane stabilizers. either a bowtech 2 piece, or the octane 2 piece quiver. a dozen nuge arrows. still have to figure out the size though. 5575 might be too light, so might have to go 7595. here is a pic i got online,heres some specs too.

Brace Height 7 1/4" Speed MOD IBO 332-340 fps
Draw Weight 60-70 Kinetic Energy 89.86 fpe
Draw Length 27.5"-31.5" Adjustable Let-off 65%-80%
Axle to Axle 36 1/4"

i like it. shot a demo before i bought this one. it's freakin sweet. pretty quiet too. i haven't got this one all set up yet though, cause i'm waitin for the stuff i ordered from bass pro. yeah, i had to break down and buy this one. real nice price on it, and the bow i hunt with when i go home is a 10 year old pse nova. lol. they aren't making this bow anymore, but they still have a bunch of good bows. i was thinkin about a mathews before i went and shot this bow, but just buy what feels comfortable to you.

I went and shot a few bows this weekend. I really like the way the Bowtech Admiral shot the only draw back I felt was the grip seems really thin on the Bowtechs. I have seen some smoking deals on 08 closeouts just have to find one that I like the best. Weather sucks so I don't have anything to do but look for deals on the web and try and spend money I probably shouldn't.

I shot one of those 101's, there sweet. I shoot a Ross cardiac, but hell I shot a PSE laser 2 for for the first 10 yrs of my archery carreer. Killed many animals with that bow at only 50lbs. Guess the point being...having confidence in your equipment is half the battle, no matter what you use. Wait till you stick something with that thing. :)
