If you have a local bow shop stop in and see what they have for a used rest and sight. You could probably get the new one shooting pretty cheap. Don't need much for a sight to try it out. Should find out if you like it before you get rid of it.

Do you have an Elite dealer near you? I agree probably should at least shoot the bow you just got to see if your gonna like. I would go to the archery shop and try the Answer out and give you my opinion but that may lead to me owning a third bow. ;D ;D

I have a local shop that I go to a lot.  He carries Bowtech and PSE.  I've shot my buddies Bowtech before, and its a good bow.  I have also asked him to research a good Hoyt for me.
I also have no plans on getting rid of my old one.  I would keep it for a back up!! 8)

Would this bow be much of an upgrade?  Doesn't look as compact as I'd like?

Ya I looked into that one.  Not what I'm looking for really.  Seems to be a lot of them for sale right now.  I did like the looks of the Bowtech though!!
