hello everyone am ferly new to bowing, Ive been practicing for a few months now with my goal of doing bow hunting. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on essential upgrades or essential items. For starters, I have Mission Switch bow. Pretty basic 3 pin sight, tight spot 5 arrow quiver & a whisker biscuit. That's about it. My release is a basic index release, im thinking that may be the first thing to get changed. Thanks.
 
You have the essential gear. The fundamentals of shooting the bow will be what dictates your success, but ……..

After ensuring you have a decent stabilizer, I’d upgrade the whisker brisket to a drop away rest first. Then swap out the sight. Then perhaps upgrade the release

I also have basic bow and accessories, 2 years ago prior to an African bow hunt I upgraded my release, it was a game changer for me.

Agree with above… first upgrades are release and rest… those will make a huge difference in your ability to make consistent repeatable accurate shots…

After that, find a good sight that you like… I went through a handful before I settled on a spot hogg single pin… a precision sight that is easy to see, has the right sized pin head for the distances you most commonly shoot, etc will help a lot…

A very inexpensive upgrade that also can make a huge difference is a quality small sized peep… most factory peeps are frankly too big.. they’re great for picking up the target quickly, but suck if what you’re looking for is precision/accuracy… for less than $15 installed, that’s an easy fix…

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
