Allocate $200 for bow accessory upgrades

[elkyinzer]

I'm helping my little bro upgrade accessories on his 2009 Hoyt SuperHawk. It's killed a lot of whitetails but trying to get him dialed in out to 50 yards for his first elk hunt this fall.

Current setup: TT drop rest with the paddle (pronghorn?). Sight is a cheap 3 pin, wants to upgrade to 5 fixed. Quiver is ok but only holds 3 arrows.

Say you have around $200 to allocate between the rest, sight, and quiver upgrades. Strings, cables, everything else are all good, just these 3 items in consideration.

Initially I thought to keep the rest, upgrade to a solid sight (MBG Rush is what I have and like), and possibly find a quiver at the right price.

Debating though, because I really like my QAD ultra rest a lot more but that eats a lot of his budget, and with all the other gear he needs, doesn't want to dump a bunch more into this bow. I can play around with some tuning and see what I think of the rest before I dump money into a sight. Setting this up for him because he is deployed until June so I just need to have it done by then.

Just wondering yinz thoughts? I haven't done much research other than knowing what it cost to set my bow up a couple years ago. Figured I'd get some opinions first.

you can hunt down good used deals on AT but if i was buying new i would probably go with the following:

QAD Ultrarest LD, $80 on amazon
Spot Hogg Bulletproof 5 pin, $85 new on ebay
Treelimb standard 5 arrow quiver, $38 new on ebay

I like the idea of upgrading your sight and quiver first. You mentioned liking the QAD rest, but in the meantime a TT pronghorn is still a solid choice. Can't say that about having only 3 arrows in the quiver and a cheapo sight.

Sight first.

Upgrade sights and rest.

Archerytalk.com classifieds is the way to go. A lot of times you can buy stuff cheap enough to try it out then resale and get your money back if you don't like it.

The Pronghorn is a good rest. Start with the sight. He can also hunt with 3 arrows. I have never needed more than 3 on an elk hunt.
