Yep, good rest.  My dad has the Trophy Taker and I have the new NAP Apache, but I think that the Trophy Taker is a bit better.  The Trophy Taker has better rubber finish on parts that will make noise if your arrow hits them.  The toolless adjustment screws on the NAP seem kind of neat, but they stick out far enough that it pushes against one of the arrows in my quiver.  I'm using skinny Easton Axis arrows, but if I was an aluminum arrow user it might  actually be a problem.

I too have the trophy taker full containment rest. I like it for the simple fact that regardless of what kind of an angle you are holding the bow at, when you draw the rest picks up the arrow. No need to hold your finger over the arrow to keep it in place. Let it lay in there and it will be just fine when it comes time to draw on that big old buck or bull.

I have the trophy taker smack down full containment and love it. There's no way your fletchings can touch the rest when they go by cause the string on the rest keeps it down.

Count me in for the Trophy Taker smackdown full containment rest. Definitely the best hunting rest I have ever used.

Trophy Taker Pronghorn here.  I like the action of the rest but, will be looking at a full containment version or switching back to the old wisker biscuit.
