    Hey guys I have the nap apache drop away rest on my bow. I'm gonna be selling my bow here soon so I was wondering how I could get the rest off. The cord is through the cable so I can't just unbolt the rest. How should I go about removing it?

    If you undo the bolt and carefully cut the melted end of the line you could probably pull it through the cable. Be careful! Obviously don't want to cut the cable itself.

    You can use a pair of dikes to cut the ball (melted part) of the cord and pull it through. Much safer than using a knife or razor blade.

    You should be able to grab the melted ball on the end of the cord and pull it out enough to safely cut the ball off....Then just pull it back through the cable and it's done.

    Have you tried cutting the melted end and then pulling it through?
