Thanks man, and yeah, I shot it in the store lane they have and it was nice, I was grouping better, and noticed how much of a difference it made.

New to the stick and string

be careful with that. with the bowtech binary system, you can cause some bad cam lean doing that, which would need some yoke adjustment to correct.
put some lipstick on the cable, then shoot an arrow. if it doesnt have lipstick on it, your not hitting the cable.
didnt see this post before my previous replies, glad you got it sorted out.
Thank you for you're advise, and yeah the guy I took it to knew exactly what he was doing. It took him about 2 minutes to realize that the slide that was on it was a Hoyt and not the original so slid a new limbsaver slide on looked it over and said go wear the target wall out. I made the rest of his shift easy haha.
Another great bow guy in your area is Jeff Dixon at Second Chance Archery.
The bow should balance in your hand. If your stabilizer is balancing your bow then you should be good. After that rest, sights, type of string. It is all a matter of opinion.
IMO.... Drop away rest, nice visible fixed pin sights (for hunting). I like round sight that co-witnesses my peep. Winner's Choice String!
I shot ASA 3D shoots back in the day. If you go to the big shoots you will realize bows are like guns, golf clubs, cars etc. Some of the guys are there to brag about their latest purchase and fancy bow or accessory. I was very competitive with my hunting bow! Moving up in class I did use a Moving sight and bit longer stabilizer but still good ole Mathews Q2!

Some of my buddies with bows all tell me what they have used or have especially with rests and sights. Yeah the sight I have isn't the best but I like it. If it Had smaller pins I'd be happy. And I've seen fall aways not work or fail to work properly. Then I have the guy I know that's it not a bow without the biscuit. By as of now I enjoy the hostage rest I have and am considering other hostage rests
My bow came with a QAD drop away and i'm happy with it,but if buying new I would most likely go with a Biscuit or Hostage just for the simplicity of it. If it ever fails, even in the backyard its coming off.
Agree 100% with the smaller pins! Personally had zero issues with the drop aways. I have shot the biscuit, but no experience with the hostages.
Good Luck on stabbing one this season!
