Nice looking bow Cody, good job and a great choice too.  Your right, you need to load it up with accessories that fit your hunting and shooting preferences and style of drawing strings.  Congrats!!!    :drinking:

Look out, Cody's going to single handedly pull the retail economy out of the duldrums loading up his new bow.   :fudd:

Yeah I know what ya mean Deadeye - the sky is the limit when it comes to accessories/necessities.

Sweet bow there, Cody.  Check with the boys at MN Arch; they'll fix you up right.  I went out there for a few things and one of which was a stabelizer.  He let me open packages and try as many as my heart desired.  I really love my acessories/necessities; that's what really makes my bow for me.

Cody, you forgot to mention a STS string shock Supressor, bow case, new release, and wrist strap.   I'm sure others can mention a few we forgot.   :toast:  Might as well spring for that new tree stand you have been eyeing.  :rotflmao:

Good points there Deadeye.  Hey what about targets?  A good 3D should help alot.  And don't forget to not mix your arrows so a dozen for practice and a dozen for hunting should get you started.  Hey did you know G5 Montechs have practice broad heads?  That way, you're not practicing with field tips. 

Yeah buddy.

Here's a tip for whatever decoy/3D Target you get.  A friend just told me this today.  They're actually made of a biodegradeable (sp?) type of foam to be more nature friendly. 

So whatever one you get, keep it out of the sun/elements when you're not using it.

I've heard Reinharts (sp?) are some of the best but that same guy told me he has had another one (McKenzie??) for over 10 years so I'd say he got his money's worth out of that one.

Dude,  I have roughly 40 3-D targets for our 3-D range (half Mckenzie half Rinehart).  And all I have to say is that Rinehart targets WILL out perform any other 3-D target out there.  They are a little spendy at first...but the replacement vitals are cheaper than Mckenzie and there foam is much better self-healing if you were to shoot a broadhead into it.  You can get a good Rinehart starting at $100.

heck cody you might as well buy a couple different sights and rests, bow mounted quiver and a hip quiver, two different broad heads, fletching tool,fletching, lighted nocks for hunting and regular nocks forrepairing the ones you hit and break, portable bow press, extra string set up with peep and nock point, extra cable, tuning tools. Then set a room aside in the house or build a little shop for your bow room.
  Archery is a cheap sport to get into, all you need is a long stick and some short ones. lol
 Congrates on the new bow cody, enjoy and chasing them rabbits with it can be great fun and practice.
