Suggestions on accessories for a V3 27?

Hi All,
Decided to pull the trigger on a V3 27 and i was looking to get some insight into what accessories i need to be getting and was hoping some Mathews aficionados on this sub forum could jump in with their expertise. I use a Stan SX3 release and my CBE Engage Hybrid 3 Pin arrives tomorrow.

1. Rest - I am torn between the Hamskea Trinity Hunter and the QAD Integrate specific to Mathews. I am getting cross-eyed looking at the cable driven vs. limb driven argument.
2. Should i fork out the moolah for the Mathews flatline stabilizer? Looking for an 8-10 incher.
3. Are the Limb legs to keep the bow upright without resting on the cams a worth while investment?
4. Is the Mathews Quiver worth it or should i get me a Tightspot Quiver?

What else am i missing gearwise? Any suggestions are welcome.

Arrows/Fletching etc. i will ask for help in a separate thread to keep things a bit organized for me.

What i have done to get to this point:
I shot about 7-8 shots through an Elite Enkore, Bowtech Solution, Mathews V3 27 and V3 31(28 inch draw, 70lbs and not too sure of the letoff on each) the day after i got my vaccine shot. Shoulder is sore BUT, i do like how smooth the new Mathews bows draw. In the end, i just liked how the 27 anchored a little better than the 31 which sealed the decision for me.

Thank you all in advance.

Here’s my take on the subject. First, I’m no Mathews expert. I’ve been an Elite bow shooter for a number of year and recently went with a VXR 31.5. 70 lbs maxed out 30” DL. 85% LO, Unlike most I’m not a big fan of the Hamskea Trinity Pro on my now backup Elite Synergy. It’s heavy, bulky and at times pretty f’n noisy, string twang..., I tinkered with it, my go to shops messed with it and still the slap is noticeable. Had and have QAD’s on a number of of other bows and yes it doesn’t support the arrow as long as a limb driven rest, but once tuned, it’s quite and your done. My VXR has the integrated rest on it now and I like the sleek, low weight and it works flawlessly.
Quiver, I use a Mathews 6 arrow. I,m typically in a tree stand so it’s either in my pack or hanging on the tree. I have no issue spot and stalking with that setup either. Does it vibrate a little after the shot, yes with my 30.5” arrow. It’s not a deal breaker. If your mostly a spot and stalk guy, a longer 2 piece is probably the way to go. Tight spot are longer in the frame as a one piece and a lot of guys swear by them, along with a great warranty.
For stabilizers: I’m waiting on set of Quantum Stabilizers (check them out) Mathews seems overpriced and gimmicky. I’ve been a BeeStinger user for years, although recently the quality sucks. Ferrel connection loosening..... From what I’m seeing the OG is sourcing inferior components as of late. I have a CBE hunter pro from a few years back thats not on a bow at the moment, but I do like it. No sure how the CBE sights are now. I jumped to a Black Gold. The whole OG quality control pushed me out of buying another Elite.
You won’t be disappointed with the engage legs, best thing going during practice rounds.

Thanks Guys. I think for now, i will wait and get me a Quantum Stab, those things do look good. Since i want all black accessories, i dont think the realtree quiver and stab would work @bojangles808 ! I appreciate the offer though.

The flatlines are super nice but pricey for sure. For a rest I personally like the QAD or AAE and not a huge limb driven fan just for looks but I’m not hunting in crazy conditions where reliability is a concern. The Mathews quiver that is qd is super nice and a good system if you take your quiver on and off a decent bit

I just picked up a V3 27 as well, love it so far. Went with the QAD HDX, the Spot Hogg Hunter from my old bow, and ordered the Mathews 1 piece quiver and 10" Flatline. I've seen a ton of posts complaining about the price, but when you look at the cost of everything you're holding are you really going to complain about a little extra? I did happen to get mine at a discount and free shipping/no tax as well. Hope it does well, read mostly good reviews other than price. Hope you enjoy your bow!

I’d go with the integrated rest, I went with wicked stick stabilizers, a tight spot or Apex reactor xl for quiver, pay to much for the Mathews branded stuff. Sights: cbe engage hybrid, sport Hogg fast Eddie/xl, I went with the hog father. I did get the legs I like it just expensive.
