Title: Best containment rest for my Alphamax?
Post by: jackelope on December 17, 2015, 03:12:52 PM: Going to get my bow out and dust it off after a couple year hiatus and want to upgrade to a full containment rest. I'm looking for suggestions. I'm not interested in a whisker biscuit. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
It's a Hoyt Alphamax 32 if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

The LD model QAD is also a great option if you want to save about $30. It has the exact same internals and operates the same as the HDX, it just doesn't have the curved containment bar or the cord adjustment in the thumbwheel.

I have heard alot of great things about the QAD as well, just see no reason to change and prefer the look of the TT. I do know some rigs are easier to tune with limb driven rests, but if I remember the specs for that bow correctly I think you are good with either one. I had bad experiences with Trophy Ridge revolutions but it was first gen, so they may have fixed the issues. To bad because there were several things I liked about the design and they actually held the arrow the best of the drop aways with capture.

I had the original T.R. Revolution on both of my bows and also had a bad experience with them because of vane contact. I switched both of them out for the Revolution 2.0 and the vane contact problem is gone. It's a great total containment rest in my book and a good price to boot.

I bought mine used from a friend, after a couple weeks on my bow, (he had shot the crap out of it for a couple years) it quit working. We took it off my bow and sent it to Rip Cord. They sent him a brand new one. Which we installed on my bow. No questions asked.

No problems with mine (2011/12), I would highly recommend one. I had a QAD that did not work very well, still sitting in a box somewhere....
