    What can I do to deck out this bow?

    I was thinking about selling my martin bengal, but I have decided not to. What can I do to it to maximize full potential? Are there any accessories I should take off or put on?
    I need to get a new sight, I don't like the one I have now. The pins are set vertically instead of horizontally, kinda funky.
    I have a whisker biscuit on there that I used to like, but it started taking the fletchings off arrows after just 15 or so shots per arrow.
    Thanks

    go to a fall away rest, new sight, string silencer but it's not going to make the bow feel all that different.

    If your keeping the bow because of money I say don't upgrade anything and keep saving for a new one.

    If your keeping the bow because you like it then I'd change the rest, sight and add a string suppresor.

      Depends on what u want to spend. I would make sure you have the best rest and flight path as possible and arrows and sight. Quad hd pro Id a solid rest, hha for a sight( if u have the money, acc or carbon express for arrows , and if money is a problem on arrows go Easton epics.

          Well I like the bow but the arrows I bought the time before last, I forget what they were, but when I would shoot them they wouldn't seem to fly straight. The back end would sorta whip around and the entry was sometimes at an angle. What caused this?

                    They could be under spined and the bow not tuned at all. Read the Easton Tuning Guide, search TBH I uploaded it here in the past.

                      I am not going to tell you how to set up your bow, but here is what I did. I was shooting an older PSE Typhoon and I was very happy with it, but I decided to upgrade the accessories. I started with new set of strings, after about 3 years of shooting on regular bases my string started to fray. I also added a string dampener to help quit the bow, which made it easier to hunt with. At the beginning of this last year I changed the whisker biscuit out with a QAD drop away rest and was very pleased with the change. Finally I spent the money and bought a new site. All of the upgrades that I purchased are things that can be removed and placed on a new bow. Which I have just purchased a new Hoyt Maxxis 31 and put all the upgrades from my previous bow onto the new bow. So I recommend figuring out what you like and don’t like about your bow and the accessories that can be used to help you make a decision on a new bow that you can shoot for many years to come.

                          Could be your center shot prob too that makes your arrows tail like that. I agree with everyone else. Go with a regular peep, I like RedHawk. Get a fall away rest like a Ripcord or QAD. For the money, you can't beat a TruGlo Tru-Site Xtreme 5-pin sight with a sight light. You can pick it up for about $50. Others for that price can't touch it! If you need a new string, get a new string! PM me and I can get you a discount on premium custom string/cables if you need them (you pick the colors). StringTamer and LimbSaver string silencers would be good, too. Good luck!

                            I'll probably get a new sight in 2 weeks, I'll shoot you a PM then.

                              Why not put some Stacks on it?

                              Sorry I couldnt help it! Nothing against you just thought that whole thread was pointless, although I did read it twice trying to make sense of it all.
