What arrow rests?
« on: July 18, 2013, 12:44:40 PM »
I am thinking about upgrading my arrow rest, I currently have a trophy taker SL extreme on my bow. I have heard good things about the rip cords. What are you guys shooting or what would you recommend?

I just switched from a WB to the Ripcord SOS.  Very happy with how it works.

Ripcord

Switched to a QAD Ultrarest HDX this year.

My Ripcord worked fine mechanically but I kept snapping that long, skinny plastic arrow retainment arm off. It tended to snag and break when I strapped my bow to my pack, or it hooked on brush and broke during the low prone crawl during a stalk. It was a repeating issue with me and a huge suprise when you go to draw after a long stalk and the arrow jumps out of the rest rattling aimlessly. I put up with it for a few seasons, but that rest may be a little fragile for some hunting styles.  :twocents:

I have a Trophy Taker Smackdown Pro Series arrow rest. It works great, Dont see what else you would need.

Don't fell alone I have the 3/4 whisker bisket  test to.  I have been thinking about a fall away but will worry about it whenever I get a new bow.

I use the biscuit on my hunting bow. I think it's accurate out to 40 yards and it's fail proof

Im lethal out to 60 and where I hunt I probably cant even get a clear shot that far. But I do like the durability of it and the fact that I dont gotta hold my arrow in when its knocked and im traipsing through the woods.

Biscuit FOR LIFEEEEEE hahaha
