Im wanting to get more involved in bow hunting. This past year made me want to get off the regular path at our club. We have a lot of acreage away from our food plots and feeders that we don't hunt.
We have some good deer that travel in-between these areas and I want to see more of it. Also I have an opportunity to go out of state this year and will take the bow with me.
End of last year I picked up a new bow. Im familiar with bows as I had one a couple years ago. An uncle passed one down to me and it had simple stuff on it. Picked up a wrist release from the local store and had the archery shop do an overhaul and began shooting.
But with this bow, I want it set up it right. I have done a lot of reading here and on archery talk and have it down to picking out a sight and release.
--Sight i "want" to be a 3 pin. I think for for beginning a 5 pin will be too crowded and i don't plan on shooting longer distances. Im not again a single though, would be willing to try it. Ive looked at the trophy ridge react and also the CBE line up in .19. I was narrowing it down the the CBE sniper, for not needing all the extra stuff the TEK-Hybrid had. But give me things I need to look for as a new bowhunter in a sight and also brands y'all use. Like i said, I won't be shooting 3d or long ranges. Just looking for a good sight to start with.
--Releases I'm looking at wanting to try a thumb. Most of what I've read, people seem to be more accurate when shooting a thumb. The downside was the transition from shooting a wrist release. I figure since I really don't have a habit, i should be able to transition very easily and learn the proper way. What are some good thumb releases to start to look at and some features of them that i want in one?
I will be going to the local archery shop and looking at different set-ups, but want to have some knowledge going in. Thanks for the help in advance fellas.
