Title: Spot Hogg Whammy Drop Away Rest
Post by: bowhuntin on July 27, 2008, 07:43:57 PM: Does anyone have a spot hogg whammy on their bow? I am going to switch to a drop away from a whisker biscuit because my fletching contacts my cables on my bowtech general and when I turn my nock so that the cock feather is facing out instead of up my fletching hits the whisker biscuit. This looks like a good rest, just wondering what people that have used it thought. Will I be able to turn my nock so my cock feather is out and have no contact with the drop away or does the cock feather always have to be facing down for prong style drop aways?

The one things that I like most about it is the fact that if the cord breaks for some reason you still have a prong rest to use for that shot of a lifetime! :chuckle: But honestly - it's super simple and one of the best rests on the market in my opinion.

The one I saw at sportsmens in federal way didn't have that rubber coating on it, is there some kind of material that comes with it to quiet it at all?

Post by: M_ray on July 27, 2008, 10:59:46 PM: Well I don't have one yet but I have shot tmikes bow and I have stood there while he has shot and it is the quietest bow I hav ever heard!
Now I'm sure it is the whole set up (the gaurdian) but if the rest wasn't quiet it would stick out like a sore thumb! And so to answer your question~ No it doesn't make a sound that I can tell!

Post by: archery288 on July 28, 2008, 07:42:12 AM: It doesn't make any noise at all... Probably one of the quietest rests I have heard for that matter. Also, it comes with two teflon black pieces to put over the prongs to quiet the arrow sliding across them.
