Newbie bought a bow and is looking for advice

So I purchased my first compound bow yesterday and it would be great to hear some feedback on my purchase from knowledgable people.

I got a used Hoyt Spider 30. 50-60 pounds, 29 inch max draw length, and 30inches axel to axel.

The primary function of the bow is getting into hunting. With the bow came some basic accessories like a drop rest, quiver, sight, stabilizer, string silencer, arrows, release, etc.

My questions are:

  1. Is it good for my intended purpose (hunting and practicing on targets)
  2. Is the bow a good fit for my body? I'm 6ft tall and draw the 50 pounds with ease. The bow is currently set up at 28 inches, and I'm having a shop change it to 29. I went with the 30 inches from axel to axel because I heard smaller bows are ideal for hunting.
  3. What other accessories do people recommend for hunting? I know a range finder, proper arrows and tips will be needed, but is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...
