Those act as a nock point because you can nock your arrows always on the same spot on the string (theoretically) which is good for accuracy and consistency while practicing as you have a reference point. As the Scorcher is recommended for youth archers High Five Gear included finger rollers that are attached to the bowstring. The SPIDER Two-Piece Quiver does its job, so there is not much to say about it. If you look closer the paint job is not that convincing anymore, but who cares as long as it looks good from a few feet away. As the cables will rub on it when you are pulling the string back I would either take it off or I would cut a part of the rubber off with a knife (like the guy did in the video at the end of this review) to prevent the string from getting too much wear too early.Ī real optical highlight is the Flame-On Camo pattern. The string stopper is made out of rubber. There is a DOA String Stop System installed. Shooting with the wrong arrows won’t do you any good!

So again, if you are in doubt please go to a professional shop. Choosing the right arrows can be quite tricky.

If you want to learn more about arrows feel free to read our guide here => Choosing The Right Arrows For A Compound Bow. Just make sure you get some that are rated for the draw weight and draw length of the High Five Scorcher. Fiberglass tends to break or splinter when hitting harder objects (think wall, tree, backstop …) so I would recommend you get aluminum or carbon arrows. Because of this they are hard to remove from targets without ripping the tips off. Those were made of fiberglass with cheaply pressed on tips that are bigger than the shafts. And so are the 2 included FlightRight arrows. Serving in a peep sight is not that easy as it has to be adjusted to the shooter so when in doubt just go to a professional shop and they will take care of it for a small fee.Ĭoncerning arrows: as with all those relatively cheap compound sets most of the accessories that are included are crap. But I would recommend you get a real peep sight because you will shoot much better with one. It works as long as you keep it from twisting after starting the draw. The Hog Nose Peep sight that comes with the High Five Scorcher acts as a rear sight and string vibration dampener.
By the way, the Allen drop-down rest did not fit the High Five Scorcher because the riser was in the way (so look for a different model or get a Whisker Biscuit). Otherwise the fletchings will get ripped off as they will hit the arrow rest / cable guard when being shot! Additionally, this will influence the flight of the arrow resulting in wild shots that won’t hit where you want them to. While shooting the index feather of the arrows (usually two feathers are colored the same, the third one (index feather) has a different color) needs to face away from the body of the Scorcher. As the sight, it is good enough for starting out, but if you want to get really good at shooting you definitely need a better one. The adjustable Crab Claw arrow rest is more or less junk.
Maybe a 3-pin or 5-pin fiber optic sight made from aluminum would do just fine. A quality sight won’t cost much but the effects it might have on your accuracy while shootong could be great. It works for starting out but if you have the chance just get a better one. It comes with a 3-pin fiber optic sight included that is made of cheap plastic.
#BUYING HIGHFIVE USED FULL#
It is meant to be a youth model that also can be shot by petite women but it is, by all means, not a full sized adult bow. The High Five Scorcher made by High Five Gear – a company based in Greencastle, Indiana – is available in a right-handed version only. If you want to know why, you should read the following review that is all about a very good option for introducing your kids to archery. I know that this model and the brand behind it is not that well known but I thought I would take a closer look nonetheless. This High Five 555 Scorcher compound bow set review will introduce you to another interesting model recommended for kids and tweens that are interested in archery.
