Had you met Len before? He is quite the technition. I've spoken to him a bit over the years. Not so much recently though.

The rest looks good, very similar to the Trophy Taker. With a good arrow holder on the shelf you get the containment properties of a Bisquit without the contact issues.
I just plain love the specs on that bow. I'd probably use the smooth modules though.
What draw weight did you get?

BTW I know the Nova is a good bow. Very similar to the last 2 I shot prior to the Outback. You are not going to believe how much better you will shoot once you get the feel of the Tribute burned in. These bows with the long risers and parallel limbs even thought they are short in the ATA department and extremely stable platforms.
One other thing, I'd get the Limbsaver modular stab and put one of the modules on the back. It's less top heavy that way and balances even better.

we had it at 64lbs. and it was like nothing for me so we moved it up to 70lbs. 29" draw.
what do you think of that sight? i really liked it. i have a vital bow gear onmy nova. i think they are high quality sights. my pins will be green/yellow/green. i cant see the red very well.
ive met len once two years ago. i really didnt like his pushy attitude but after going to other shops ill never go anywhere else but to him. the man is good.

For a fixed sight I like Spott Hogg. But that Vital Bow Gear sight has the things I like. A round sight guard to line up with the peep and a level to learn where to hold the bow without canting it. For a Peep I really like that Max Hunter Trupeep, nice and big!!!
But for hunting I won't use anything but the PredatorIV Pendulum. I don't want to be even considering range estimation out there.

I use the Spott Hogg and Len set it up so that you center the pin-guard in the large peep. It's very accurate, and when I'm on I can shoot 3" 5-shot groups at 30 yds with it. When I'm off, well, it's me, not the bow. Len is the man. Make sure you've got alot of time when you go to pick your bow up. I spent 4 hours there when he set me up. Funny story - With the Old-Glory I took a couple of practice shot on his range and the arrows were striking about 5" high and 3" right. He moved the sight and I drilled the X-ring with the next shot. I told him I thought I could tweek it in from there. Got a good laugh outta him.
