How do you like the steelforce broadheads? I may try them on elk this fall.

I will most likely get a new bow sight ..........not sure which one. I have also been toying with the idea of making myown. I can't find exactly what I am looking for from a major manufacturer. I want a VERY durable, vertical pin ight with (3) fiberoptics in all steel contruction with a level bubble to prevent canting. I have an HHA model that is CLOSE but it has finger adjustable knobs to change elevation. These tend to become loose with use. I have been melting wax on them before hunts to keep them from slipping. The adjustments are steel but they go through a clear plastic sleeve that surrounds the sight that protects the pins. Lock tite would melt this and ruin any cahnce of future adjustant. Not ideal for out of state hunts.

I am also loking for a good arrow rest to use with my carbon arrows. I shoot healical fleching to stabalize fixed broadheads............and getting full clearance from my Quicktune 1000 is difficult. I have not decided which one to get yet. But It will NOT be a drop away. I worry about getting teh cable snagged on brush whilke chasing elk through the high country. I need durability & clearance.

Good luck to all you "new bowers" This is an addictive sport. I love firearms and own many rifles. But I take 90% of my game with a bow. I love the challenge of getting within range of a game animal by either stalking or stand hunting.
