Title: new rest
Post by: hollymaster on December 11, 2013, 04:59:57 PM: Finally tired of the whisker biscuit. Looking for a something that contains the arrow, but in a drop away. What would you get?

Great rests, we've never had an issue with one and they're very easy to set up. Full containment. Very user friendly. Have rest come up 1" before full draw, tie cord in even with bottom of grip, and set your nock point correctly and you will not get fletching contact. The rest stays up if you let down as well. I use the HDX on my Reezen.

I have a limbdriver and wouldn't use it for hunting because of the loud click they make when they're forced down into the metal stop. Arrow flight is very good and it tunes well though, just loud. I have the limbdriver on my target bow

Trophy taker smack down pro and FC extreme are also good rests, I have nothing bad to say about them. Since the launcher falls behind the arrow shelf it can be easier to set up on bows with a curved arrow shelf like Hoyts. I have this rest on my Vector turbo.

Overall I recommend the QAD LD for $110, or the HDX for $130. Very user friendly and easy to set up with full containment. The LD has the same internals as the HDX, but the HDX has a micro adjustment for the cord which is very useful, and a curved containment bar for more fletching clearance. :tup:
