Hoytman.....to answer your question about the clips. They wear out pretty fast, I do not keep buying clips, I just wrap the line around the clip once to keep it from slipping. It takes a little longer to release the board but we don't have to worry about the board slipping or constantly replacing clips. I'm sure others will have different opinions on that, but it works great for me.

BTW.....I shoot hoyt too! carbon element and ultraelite
