I started off with a Win & Win Toutall riser and Win & Win Challenger Craft limbs, plus a Shibuya DX button, Hoyt Super Rest and Arten Olympic sight. It was all good stuff, couldn't have picked much better as it turns out. I got rid of the Arten Olympic after a few years in favour of a Shibuya Dual Click, but only because I got fed up of the mushy windage adjustment on the Olympic.

The Toutall was replaced by the KAP Winstar, which had dreadfully soft paint. Quite a contrast to the Toutall's hard electrostatic finish. The Winstar II looks to be alright, though.

The other riser I'd recommend is the Hoyt Eclipse - very popular at my club, and with good reason.

As others have said, get a decent sight. Cartel sights are the bane of my life - I always seem to be sorting them out or showing people yet again how to adjust them. I'm thinking of asking Aardvark not to sell Cartel sights to anyone from my club.
