I had my Mathews Solocam Legacy in the shop today for new string and cables, new tubing for the peep, and a general checkover after 2 seasons (6 deer) and a few 3D shoots. Paper tested and shot some arrows inside in the airconditioned range cause it was 103 actual degrees outside with an oppressive 110 heat index. Also switched to a great new sight. I'm drilling 'em like bullets.
I need to break-in the new strings and get myself tuned up before Utah elk (cow/spike) on August 25th! I'll start scouting for those fat Illinois whitetails after I get back. Oct 01 will be here sooner than we think.

I here you. I have been shooting for the past couple of weeks and the fall can not arrive soon enough.
If you are looking for a new sight, I switched to an HHA 5500, single vertical pin with 5 feet of fiber optic, a bubble level, and a painted pin guard and I am very happy with it. The pin is super bright and it feels very sold because of its all metal construction.

I switched from an Impact single fiber optic pin adjustable- nice sight and I may go back to it for Illinois treestand whitetail.
The new one is a highly visible, verticle 3 pin with gobs of fiber optic, all metal.
brand ??? (I'll have to look later) I was going to get the Trophy Ridge V-max but when I saw this, I liked it better. I thought it would be better for my upcoming elk hunt when 30-50 yard shots may be required and without adequate time to fiddle with an adjustable sight.

I remembered the receipt in my wallet but can't read it very well.
the new sight is "something (maybe Advanced?) Bow Gear"??

Yep, been slinging them for the last 2 weeks but just switched to carbons.
Now I'm retuning to accomodate the carbons.
