Most likely an Officer sized grip. Try VZ. C

Another instance of the second amendment defending the first. C

Get another pair and put them on both guns. They both look great. C

That sucks. Sorry. It's a relatively easy fix just make sure to check the frame of the pistol to make sure that you aren't slamming on the VIS or something wacky. Most likely it just a weak link. Glad that you were able to complete the match. C ETA: It could be that your link is a touch short rather than it smacking something inside. Be sure to check it regardless. C

Yes, you did. Not too many are on both forums and I like the variety of answers. C

For those that hunt from a stand, what do you bring to your stand for a day of hunting and how do you get it there? Do you have a pack with a bunch of stuff or do you carry a few essentials in your pockets? What are your absolute must have items? Christopher

About a week ago I was cruising around on another site and came across a thread about a guy in PA making custom paracord slings. I sent him a quick PM and he got back to me very quickly. We went over (via text) what colors and size sling I wanted for my new bow. I sent him the money via PayPal and waited. I didn't have to wait long, the sling showed up today. Craftsmanship is very nice. Included is a thick leather attachment for the sling to attach to the bow. Everything is nice and tight and the colors are exactly what I wanted. I am 100% satisfied with the sling and the transaction as a whole. If anyone is interested in a really nice custom piece for their bow (he makes other stuff as well) hit him up at: Slingitcustoms.com Let him know that Christopher from NJ sent you. Christopher

Congratulations! 1911's are a bit addictive. I would think that the WC mags will work just fine. As to the 10 round mags, they can be a bit finicky as a heads up. Pics asap! C

Quick update: I bumped the weight on the bow. Took it from mid 50's to most likely the mid 60's. It feels like a new bow. It has really come into it's own. I have read that the bows are designed to shoot their best at max poundage and I can now say that that seems very likely. It has really smoothed out is the best way for me to put it. It's also noticeably faster. In addition, called G5 on Monday. The fletching is contacting the rest it is tearing my arrows up and screwing up the rest. I explained what was happening to the tech and he simply said "No problem, I'll send you a new rest." Just like that. No argument. No crap. He sent it out I believe that day. They don't even want the old one back. That's some serious customer service. I've also "invested" in fletching supplies: a jig, glue, and vanes. I figure I might as well be able to repair them when they go bad. C

Get a 10/22 and start building it out. Bull barrel, VQ accessories, etc. Put a Bushnell Elite 10x (on sale at Midway for 199, free ship) on it and shoot away! Have fun, as much as you can at least. C

Thank you. I'm on it. C

So I have gotten behind this bow a bit more in the past few days. I can say that I really do like it. It's respectably quiet and seems to be pretty fast for where it's set. It's pretty light as well. The back wall is solid. It's not "hard" per se, just solid. Let off is very smooth and the "valley" or the place where it lets off is very forgiving, which is good for a newbie like myself. It's also accurate as set up if I do my part. All in all, I'm glad I went to a shop for this, my first. I'm taking my Hunter's Ed bow portion on the 31st of May, I believe. I'm farily confident that I'll give'er hell with this guy and hopefully get my first deer. Thanks all for following along. C

Definitely something I've considered. Will do. Tnanks. Yup. Thanks.

I picked up my bow from Targeteers tonight. I had some time today and popped over to grab my bow from Rob tonite. I had called on Tuesday afternoon to make sure the preliminary setup was done (it was, as promised). When I got there Rob was with a customer but asked me to wait and when he finished up he called me over. He then spent over an hour (almost 2, actually) getting me set up with the kisser and peep, shooting and correcting my form. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable gently coaching me to shoot better. By the end of it all, I felt like I had so gotten my money's worth and am beyond ecstatic that I used a pro-shop to buy a new bow and get set up on it. I'm sure I could have saved money by buying used but then would have had to pay for set up/tuning/range time. I went with the Quest "Forge" single cam set to 28"/56# with Beman Bowhunter arrows and a Quest case. I also grabbed a bag target for the yard. The package came with a rest, quiver, sight, peep/wrist sling. The bow itself seems well made although I'm pretty much talking out my arse on that. It is, however, smooth with what feels like a solid backwall although I have very little to compare it to. It also seems pretty accurate. I definitely took a chance on it as it's a brand new bow from Quest with no reviews on it so far. Thanks to all that gave me advice on my purchase whether it was publicly on the forum or privately via PM. All of it was appreciated. To the naysayers re: Targeteers... Rob is committed to doing good business. If you have a gripe you owe it to yourself, Targeteers and the hunting community as a whole to contact Rob via phone or face to face and go over any gripes you may have instead of bitching from behind the smokescreen of a computer. It's a good shop with competitive pricing and seemingly knowledgeable folks, my past experience not withstanding. Rob has assured me that he has confronted my concerns head on. I believe him. Requisite bow porn below. Christopher

Post a pic or two with some rudimentary pricing. I could be interested. C

Whomever buys one? ;0

I went with the Quest "Forge" His price was consistent with online. Add to that the setup and such plus the reduced range and shop work, I am extremely happy with my purchase. C

So, I just got back from Targeteers... I called and spoke with Rob on the phone last week about his employees and why I wasn't happy. He listened but I wasn't sure how receptive he was to my concerns. Turns out he was very receptive. When I went there today I asked to speak with him and he came right out. He actually worked with me himself and will have everything set up for me by Tuesday. I'll go in and fine tune everything sometime next week. His prices were very competitive with online and he offers to set the bow up. Something that online retailers just can't do. At least not to the extent that he can being there. I'm super excited to pick this up and start shooting. I will post pics as soon as I get the bow. Thanks to all for your help. To the naysayers re: my shop choice. Do the shop a favor and possibly yourself as well. Call or stop in and speak with Rob personally. He is seemingly very open to constructive criticism as he seems to want to offer top notch service and competitive pricing. C

Does anyone have any thoughts on wrist vx. thumb release? Wrist seems to be more common however the thumb seems to be a bit handier. Small, clips right on the loop, pocketable. I'm open to ideas from those with more experience than me however. C

If I go it will be on sunday. However I'm betwixt and between going to the show and buying a bow to hunt with this year. C

I know that they don't have the best rep as far as customer service goes. I just prefer to patronize small shops when I can. Most of the stuff on the bow is G5, which seems ok to start with. And yes, the bow is a 2015 so that's most likely the reason. I'm just wondering if anyone on here has any thoughts on Quest as a whole. Hoyt has a rep for having a lumpier draw stroke, Mission is smoother, that kind of thing. Thanks again. C

Yeah. I called today when they opened. I wound up speaking with Robbie who apparently(thru reading) owns the place. He apologized however its apparent that the CS there is a problem that rolls downhill. I may give them another shot. We'll see. I would really like to give GS Bow and Reel however the hours that Deano is in are really tough. So, we'll see. Does anyone have feedback on the Quest bows? C

I went to Targeteers tonight, just got back actually. Aside from the douchebag kid behind the counter... I tried a Mission Craze along with a Hoyt Charger and a Quest Forge. I liked the Quest the best. Smoother feeling draw. Price was 529 with the package. Gonna do some research. C

Hey 222, thank you. Good advice on stuff I hadn't considered. C
