    So I currently am shooting a Hoyt Charger, it is also setup with a whisker biscuit. I am looking to change to a different rest. What are some recommendations? I target shoot during the week but this will be primarily for hunting.

    On a separate note does anyone know where I can find a list of screws used on the Hoyt Charger? If so are there companies out there that sell a Ti screw kit for Bows? I am looking to change them out to Titanium and possibly anodize them. I really like the idea of "personalizing" my own bow so if anyone knows place that sells "bling" for bows would be great.

    TIA & Have a great Day!!!!

    Trophy taker smackdown pro is a good rest. Don't know anything about the screws and bolts.

    QAD HDX all the way or if money tis tight use the hunter rest by QAD only 55$... as for the bolts I would ask a hoyt dealer to call and verify the measurements cuz they are sometimes stingy about going aftermarket for warranty purposes

    I'll second the trophy taker smackdown pro! I enjoy the fact that it has a lifetime warranty too.

    Ripcord ace micro arrow rest! A little more expensive. But it's a great rest

    I second this along with the trophy taker. Both are great rests.

    Wow, Thank you all for taking the time to provide me with some great help!! At least I know where to start my research. Hopefully the Proshop I purchased my bow at has one or two available for demo to try out. This site really has helped me out with a lot of great information and users willing to help.

    Thanks
    Again!!

    Trophy Ridge Revolution full containment that drops away. I have thousands of trouble free shots on mine.

    QUD HDX Ultra rest is the only one I've owned and have never had a problem. Starting my 2nd season archery hunting and it's been flawless.

    I shot QAD HDX for years, switched to a Carbon Apache this year and so far very happy. Loads from the side, no need to cock the rest, much quieter and lighter also.

    QAD Ultra Rest HDX if you have the money is great. I'll be upgrading at the end of the season to this.

    QAD Ultra LD. The HDX is just a marketing scam for another $30.
