I would agree with DR DEATH. The guys that swear by QUAD have not tried the Trophy Taker. It has been on the market the longest and is more widely used world wide than any other fall away.

the QADhdx is not $50 or even close. QAD does make a $60-70 version but the springs are weaker and smaller locking spool.

Well I picked up a QAD can't afford the hdx but I picked up the hunter at sportsman's warehouse today gonna put it on this week and give it a run.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

Another vote for the QAD HDX.  Can't speak for the new TT, as I haven't tried one.  However, I've seen the TR Revolution in action a few times, and they were all removed for QAD's. 

Depends on what each hunter is looking for.  I like the revolution because I walk with a nocked arrow and the QAD had too much "slop" in it for my liking.  It did fully retain my arrow but my arrow moved upwards of 1/2", bouncing around inside the rest.  I don't have that problem with the Revolution.  The arrow stays more or less tight, moving around less than 1/8".  add a little mole skin to it and the "slop" gets even less and is darn near silent

I have mixed emotions about walking around with a nocked arrow. I do not. I figure if I hunt with a bow I am supposed to be stealthy and see them first. If not I should hunt with a rifle. Even then I do not have a round in the chamber. Just my opinion. I do not feel you should base the opinion on how your arrow rides in the reast while walking.

 Remember a few years ago in the Winston unit when the guy had an arrow nocked while walking behind his buddy. His buddy turned around in a hurry and got impaled and died. It was on Laphan road right by WrongWays house. Like I said just my opinion

If someones hunting morality and self imposed rules won't let them walk with a nocked arrow, why would they look at a full containment rest in the first place?  Seems to me that any rest would work just fine if you weren't going to nock an arrow until you're ready to pull it back.

I remember that Winston story too, and many others like it but because someone else was so stupid as to walk within an arrows length of his buddy with a nocked arrow means that I can't or shouldn't?  By that thinking, I shouldn't drive a car because somone else drove too close to someone else and rear ended them. 

I walk with an arrow nocked and therefore I based my rest purchase 95% on how the arrow rides while walking because it is important to me.  The OP didn't say if he walks with a nocked arrow or not.  If he does, the Revolution holds an arrow tighter than the QAD does.  "just my opinion"

I walk with arrows knocked specially in prime area's for cats. I also almost never walk behind my hunting partners and never walk with a broadhead sticking straight out. Always to the ground or facing behind me, Just like a loaded gun.

This topic is about full capture rests.  While TT fall away rests were one of the first on the market, they didn't come out with the full capture until more recently.  I have liked the TT's I've owned though.

I dont use a full capture and rarely walk with an arrow nocked. But if I have to move a bit after spotting the animal and getting ready I will travel with an arrow on. I just put my finger over the arrow to hold it on the shelf. I use a standard tt smack down. Never have understood why a person would really need a full containment arrow rest. I've never dropped my arrow off the shelf...  :dunno:
