    After a long process of shooting many different bows to find what I liked and why, I finally got it figured out about 2 weeks ago. I had my local shop order it up for me and got the call today to come in and get her.

    Ended up going with the Mission Eliminator II. IBO 319FPS Weighs in at 3.96# bare and has a 30.25″ ATA(which I really like)Here is what I added so far.

    Rest: Ripcord Code Red
    Sight: Apex Bone Collector 4 pin with 2 .019 pins and 2 .010 pins and ultra fine click adjustments
    Quiver: Ended up going with the Apex Bone Collector 5 arrow. I liked the quiver itself, plus it matched the sight and the black limb pockets nicely.
    Stabilizers: Added the Harmonic Stabilizer into the riser, but haven’t decided what else I want to hang out front.

    I love it so far! It shoots like a dream and pretty dang quiet to boot. There is a little noise, but not bad at all. Here are a few pics

    looks good! Btw, you might gain a few FPS if you take off those string silencers It’s a Mathews, they’re quiet enough w/o the accessories

    I was kind of thinking that. This one was ordered in for me and the ones I shot before I made the decision were bare with only the Harmonic Damper…I don’t think that I can tell a difference with them on….they were on it when I picked it up….I hope to run a few arrows through the chrono this weekend just for curiousity sake…

    I am super pumped, and ready to go!

    Thanks Guys, I am super pumped. Finally got to do some shooting tonight. Here are a couple pics of groups. First one is my very first set of 5 at 20 yards with no adjustments since the shop set her up . The second one is from 30 yards after I had got the 20 yard pin dialed in. Not as tight, but I had already slung a lot of arrows and was getting tired and it was starting to get dark. I think that it won’t take long to wear out my homemade target, might have to break down and buy one I guess!

    Not quite the Robin Hood that Flatlandfowler had on his new setup, but still a fine shooting unit, and great dealer set up at Gene’s Sportshop in Perham
