Title: spot hogg whammy
Post by: littlebuf on December 11, 2009, 07:56:14 PM: what are your guys opinions/experience with this rest? I'm getting mixed responses from the guys Ive talked to. my wife may already have bought this for my Christmas present. if so its cabelas and i could take it back. I'm really interested in this rest and want to try it out. think its worth giving it a run and maybe taking a loss on having to sell it used if its not what it says it is? any opinion welcome

Post by: bowhuntin on December 11, 2009, 08:19:00 PM: One other thing i really like about this rest is that it is always in the up position, unlike other drop aways where the prongs come up when you draw and can possibly pop off the rest if you draw to quickly. It is well made and durable. If it is set up properly it is a great rest.

I like the positive adjustments and the up position all the time.
All of their products (Spot Hogg) are first class and their support is excellent.
I got the Whammy fist and then the Hogg IT, 7 pin, 010, wrapped sight with the light...excellent.
I also got the B-Stinger.
