More about Michele’s PSE Chaos

Michele’s been shooting the Chaos every other day now and she’s gettin’ pretty good with it. This is a great little bow and it’s definitely not a toy! She’s actually just been learning and getting a feel for the bow. We are about ready to back her on up to some longer yardage’s and get started with some some serious shooting practice.
Even though the Chaos package comes with everything needed to shoot I plan on changing a few things on it for her. I already installed a different peep sight on the bow. The one that came on it was a shurz-a-peep and she couldn’t see very clearly through it. I installed her a PSE Mongoose peep with the rubber tubing alignment and she likes it a lot better than the peep that came on it.
I also want to add a string suppressor to help silence the bow more. Even though it’s pretty quiet already with the rubber silencer’s I hope to be able to remove them off the string once I get the suppressor installed. At her low poundage and draw length she needs all the arrow speed she can get, so I want as little weight on the string as possible.
Also I plan on gettin’ her a new custom string and cable set from VaporTrail or Winner’s Choice. The stock string and cable’s are ok but since she really likes shooting I figure that quality aftermarket string and cable’s is the way to go to make sure once we get everything set it stays set. More time spent shooting and less time spent tuning!
I also plan to scrap the Whisker Biscuit rest and install a drop away rest on the bow. The Whisker Biscuit is ok but I think it slows her arrow down quite a bit. I am not a total speed freak but like I said with her 25″ draw length and 30 to 40lb draw weight she needs all she can get.
All in all the Chaos package deal was nice but if I really had of known she was gonna enjoy shooting as much as she does I would have just bought the bare bow and added the accessories of choice. But then again half the fun is upgrading and findin out what works best for each individual.
As far as the Chaos itself goes it’s a great little bow! If they made them with 60lb limbs I would have one myself for a backup bow.
