    Thanks man...

    I'm kinda leaning towards the dual caliper, buckle model Scott shark. Your post confirmed I am headed in the correct direction.

    Thnx again...

      The limbdriver looks cool and expensive...
      $100

        I prefer a buckle cuz you can strap the release in the same spot every time. And I like a hook style release. If your lookin for arrows find a dealer with gold tip arrows and get the warrior series. They are a decent affordable carbon shaft. Sights just go with a 3 pin and set it up 20,30,40. Which are most hunting distances. And I would bite the bullet and buy a limb driver. You will literally never need another rest unless you buy a new bow and want to buy another pro v to put in it too!

          Thanks csmith. That better explains the buckle fit for me. Consistency...

          As far as the limbdriver goes I can accept what U and ragin are saying. Tell u guys what... Lemme build out this bow with everything to get it operational and me actually shooting it. Once I get that far, u guys and their video clips have convinced me the limbdriver is an upgrade that makes a difference.

            No prob bud. And for a peep sight get you a 1/4 meta peep or radical peep.

              All sights are going to do pretty much the same thing, it just depends what you want. No matter what get a .019 pin or smaller. This helps with accuracy. May want to try a cobra single pin slider sight. Single pin is easier to shoot IMO. Also, I use a $3 carbon express peep sight, and it is fine. You don't need to spend more than $30 on a stabilizer, unless you are overly sensitive to balancing your bow. If your whisker biscuit ends up not working, and you don't want to drop coin on a drop away, go with an octane hostage rest, can find them for $11 on eBay.

                    I have a Team Extreme sight that is basically brand new, only reason I'm selling is because I just bought a new one and this one came with the used bow I bought, $50 TYD!
