I have a bow, arrows, and broadheads. From what I understand, I'll need a sight, an arrow rest, a stabilizer, a whisker biscuit, and a trigger release. Am I missing anything? Do I actually need all that? It's for hunting so I know Ill need the sight and the trigger release, but what about the other stuff?

A WB is a rest and you have to have some kind of rest; for hunting you'll want a full capture kind of rest like a WB or a fall away like the QAD. Things like string leeches to help quiet the bow and either a peep or a kisser button are also on the list.

Stick it.

You might want a quiver as well.   It's not uncommon for the animal to remain still after you missed, so it's good to have more arrows handy for a second shot.

Hunting from up in a tree is 1,000 times better than on the ground too, so you might want to aquire a tree stand if you're not hunting wooden stands.

I'd get a wrist sling also, that way you can shoot with a relaxed hand and not have to worry about the bow jumping out of your hand.
