    School me!

    Wow...looks a lot like my old Browning Coyote that I still have in the garage but afraid to even draw since it's been so long. I used to have a similar rest...and yes that's all there is to it is the spring and the end is supposed to flex to allow the fletchings to pass. Like Scooter said, if you have the center shot clearance go for the biscuit. A friend had an older bow like this and saw a lot of improvement just switching to carbon arrows, but that's getting into a lot more $$ that you may not want to spend. He killed a stink pig with his...literally lobbing arrows. Decided after that to upgrade to a low-end newer bow for deer. Sounds very similar to your plan. Otherwise you could go "old school speed" and chop those arrows off and put an overdraw on it! I see you're in Tucson...take it in to Robinsons (he has a few older bows setup in the shop there, so may have some really good insight on what you can do on the cheap) or Bull Basin and they should be able to take care of you.

    Any regrets?

    I regret that I still have every gun I've ever owned...and it's not enough! Still need a bigger cabinet before I can add to the collection...don't get me wrong, most of them are sentimental single shots that have been in the family for years. I'll never get rid of most of them though.

    Country Thunder

    Free introductory XM on my truck when I bought it...best thing I've found is no retuning or losing all signal out in the hills. Got to listen to football and get score updates while out scouting too...first camping trip to the mountains when we didn't have to retune along the drive sold my wife on it too!

    CO Elk hunt

    If no AZ tag next year and things work out otherwise, I might be up there with you...not sure what units yet. Unfortunately no info to share as I'm just starting to think about things too.
