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
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

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.
