i was woundering if anyone wants to share what mods they have done to their bows to improve a certain quality ie; making it more quiet, relieable, faster, etc etc. i'll go first.
my g5 optix ME sight is great, infact almost worth the 159.99 price tag, but one thing i did read and i found out true is that the setscrews on the "smart pins" are easily stripable. which i did NO PROBLEM! while first setting up the sight i stripped out and broke right off two out of the tree smart pin set screws. since the shop i work at didnt have any of the right size replacemnt screws and my impatients i decided to mod the sight to make it a little more durable (but 1 ounce heavier) since my setup is in tip top shape i dont feel like un bolting the whole thing and then readjusting it but, i can tell u that i drilled out clearance hole for #4-40 screws and but regular nuts on the back side. now i have no problem with stripping them out and if even if i do u can go to any home depot and buy a few more nuts and bolts.:)
i would post a pic but i have yet to hit the 15 post mark and i cant post pics yet.
