Arrow rest

Old Dog:
Doesn't look like an option with that bow.   :dunno:

AWS:
I found a brush rest that I think I can fit to the bow.   It is open topped so the slide stop should go right on through and it it doesn't bolt right on I'm pretty handi at making a bracket to adapt it.

I have an AMS Wave rest on my compound for bowfishing.  It holds the arrows very securely and I don't have issues with arrows bouncing off.  I usually stretch my index finger over the top of the arrow to hold it while I am walking around looking for fish. I do most of my bowfishing from the bank.  My brother has the newer AMS Tidal Wave rest on his compound bow for bowfishing.  The roller part is the same, but it has a piece that goes over the top that keeps arrows from falling off the rest if you bounce it or hold it upside down etc, so you don't have to have a finger over the rest to hold the arrow on. 

If it is a fairly long reach to get your finger over the arrow, that may be an issue with where the arrow rest is on the bow with respect to the hand grip more than an issue with the arrow rest.  With the AMS arrow rests, I think you can adjust the rest down, but unless you adjust where the arrow clips to the string on the back, only adjusting the rest will make your arrows point down on the bow.  May mess with the timing.   

My recommendation is to go with the AMS Tidal Wave rest so you don't need a finger over the arrow to hold it in place while you are moving about looking for fish, and keep it inline with where the current arrow rest is.

I have this same rest and love it and have had no problems with it

Thanks for the heads up on the Tidal Wave, it looks like it might just do the trick.

Thanks AWS
