Your link doesn't help much as far as how it is really set up...can you share the details?



Just my opinion, but I would ditch the Whisker Biscuit for a quality fall-away rest.

A good set of sites is worth the money.

And I like stabilizers.

Practice how you will hunt...if you remove it when you are target practicing, remove it when you are hunting.

That stuff will all work just fine for hunting, but as your skills develop more fully and you fall in love with bow hunting you may find yourself wanting to upgrade.

There is nothing at all wrong with that peep.

That sight is fine and fairly sturdy (I have 2 in my bow hunting toolbox at home) but you may find yourself wanting to upgrade in the future.  The biggest difference you will find in a nicer sight is pin brightness and ease of adjustment/use.  You should also experiment with different pin sizes to see which one works best for you.  I went to a sight setup from Truglo this year that has different pin sizes for different yardages and I love it.

I don't like that rest, but rests are always hugely based on personal preference it seems.  I would much rather have a capture style fall-away rest like a QAD, Trophy Taker, or Rip Cord....I have a Rip Cord and really love it.





Like I said, the setup you have is definitely capable of killing many, many critters.  Just keep in mind that when you buy a "package" you are usually going to have fairly inexpensive accessories on it.  Practice, practice, practice, and good luck this season

At ten yards, I can have a group of arrow shafts all touching.  

At twenty yards, I can keep them in a 2-inch circle pretty easily.

At thirty yards, that opens up to about 2.5- inch.

At forty yards, 4-inch circle.

At fifty yards, it jumps to about a 6-inch circle.

At 60 yards, I am lucky to keep a 10-inch group.  Seems like I can hold several steady, then I will have a flyer or two.

Also, I have pins sit at 20, 30, 40, 50.  


The above is true for me and it seems to be consistent with the friends that I shoot/hunt with.  I am far from an expert.  I don't shoot in contests or anything, but I do practice nearly year round for bow season.  FWIW, I would never take a shot on a deer beyond 45 yards, and for that distance it would have to be perfect circumstances (deer unaware of presence, in open field area, etc...).  45 yards is the distance I can consistently put every arrow on a pie-plate which is what I used to come up with that personal limit.



I will offer you a few other tips/bits of advice that have worked for me:

It is better to shoot a few arrows every day than try to practice for hours on a single day.  When fatigue sets in, shooting gets tough and frustrating.

You will need to do some practicing from an elevated position if you are going to hunt from a stand.

You will need to practice shooting while sitting down on a hunting seat if you are going to hunt from a blind.

Make sure you shoot at least a few times with all your hunting clothes on.

Avoid caffeine.  I was surprised at how much my gun and bow shooting improved when I gave up drinking pop.  It was not a lot, but it was noticeable.

That's better than me.
