Budget? To be honest, it would better if you could spend some time looking at the accessories in store. Looking at pictures and prices is ok, but if you can look at a sight pins, rest styles, etc - you'll be much better off. We can give you a thousand reccomendations but they will all be worthless if you can't afford the products or get something and end up not liking it.

With that said. For sights, I was really impressed with the Copper John Dead Nutz series. The QAD Ultrarest is a well known rest and is very popular on here. Octane and Fuse both make excellent accessories as far as stab's and quivers go as well.

Also, take a look at the gear review forum

$500+ can buy you a ton of accessories - the question is marginal benefit. I could outfit my bow with everything I need for $300 probably, will spending an extra $200 give you that much benefit? Just a thought. I would start looking on the gear review board and from there start asking more specific questions about specific products.

No problem, there are a lot of people that don't realize there are classifieds on here as well. That may be another area to take a look around.
