Hey Lowedog I did everything you suggested and more.  It is shooting bullet holes at 6 feet and 9 yds, but it don't look right.  When the arrow is set to 90 degrees, and at the berger hole it shoots a 3 inch nock high tear.  Being a one cam I suspected arrow spine, but I tried several different arrows, and the results were the same.  I am of the opinion that the octane pro rest is incompatable with the bow.

Huntnfmly,   I live in Federalway ( close to Wholesale ) if you want to try the whisker biscuit I have. It is the fully adjustable one. A way to see if it is the rest without buying one.  Send me a PM if you do. Mike

Nice offer, MIKEXRAY.  I keep a couple biscuits around, so customers can try out the bows.  I'll have a couple different rest options to try.  We'll get 'er done!

That is really strange that it is tearing high like that when set at 90 and at the same height as the berger holes.  Has to be contact issue.

I bought the NAP Apache full containment drop away a little while back to try out.  I think for $50 it is a great rest.  It was really easy to set up and it is very quite.  I would say it is as good a rest as comparable rests that are double the cost.

Some pics of your set up would go a long way.  I would like to see a pic of the idler wheel at full draw to see if it is tracking straight or if you need a few twists in the cable.

I still say take a look at the trophy taker. I like the full containment, larger whale tail that picks up the arrow no matter where it is in the containment, quiet. Like I said I live right here if you want to check it out. Can even take a few shots with mine. ( 29 " 66 # ) It is a sweet set up. Or I have the whisker, not sure how feathers do. I shot regular vanes with none getting ruined ever. They did wrinkle a little but I have had them do that without the biscuit. Mike

Been there done that, and bought the "t" shirt!  And besides that an idler wheel that doesn't track straight will usually cause a tear to one side or the other.

Out of curiousity, why wasn't the other one working?  I have a Z7 and the NAP Apache rest and it's fine (somebody else suggested that rest, as well) but I'd be curious as to the reason the other one wasn't working.  Mainly just curiousity and to file the information away in case I see a problem like it in the future.

The one i ended up with pretty much looks the same as the one you got the one i had was a octane hostage pro.And my understanding was the hostage pro sat too far back for my bow iguess i dont completley understand but all i know is the bow is shooting great now

Yeah, I'd sell my Corvette and pick up a Pinto why I was at it.   :chuckle:


(I actually like the Destroyer but, since I own a Z7, I better sling a little crap about it.)
