Default Some money to spend from Xmas

I'm looking for some ideas on ways to upgrade my Bowtech Assassin with some cash I got from my wife who said to spend it on my bow.

I've already replaced the terrible stock rest with a RipCord Red and am looking at doing the sight and maybe the stabilizer.

As far as sights go I've found myself drawn to the Armortech HD but have no idea when it comes to stabilizers.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

A couple of options for you CD....

Jimbows, just off Edmonton Trail NE or

Calgary Archery Centre, on 47th & 47th SE....

Bring your bow with you - they both have excellent sights/stabs for you to try out before buying and can give you helpful advice....

My own bow wears different sights year to year, but I've settled on a 7 pin horizontal sight in recent years. I've tried vertical pins, sliders, etc....

For accessories, check out "FUSE" products.
I don't think you'll find their products in local stores but it's a very good product.
I ordered a Fuse quiver through a local shop many years ago and the store owner was so impressed, that he ordered one too and started looking into their products more.

Give em a look see

Axion or KTECH have some awesome stabilizers that actually work and look mean, many utilize the proven Harmonic Stabilizers and Harmonic Dampers in them.

So you dont need a long stabilizer, you can fit a shorter Stabilizer for hunting with the same results as a longer one.

The last time I was through Calgary I stopped at Jimbows. It was my first time there and I can say that they are a first rate shop with knowledgeable staff and a great inventory. My buddy had ordered some arrows so I picked them up, and while there I tried out the B-stinger stabilizers they had on the wall. They might not look really fancy like some out there but they sure do work, they actually stabilizer your bow and also kill vibration. I would highly recommend them. (B-stinger & Jimbows)
