    Im looking at getting a new rest for my black ops bowtech invasion.
    Im looking at the apache armorest, apache carbon rest, and the qad ultra rest pro.
    Anybody have any suggeztions on what i should go for?
    Price is no object. Also wanted to know what the difference between a high bow sight and a regular pro sight is?
    Especially from armortech.
    Any idea when the vision sights are coming out?
    Thank you

    I like the Apache carbon. I don't have the carbon version, but it works great. It has a lot of adjustment and it is very east to attach and setup.

    I'm shooting an Apache Carbon and IMO it's a great rest. Very simply, solid and light weight. The side-loading feature is a much needed improvement over the original Apache.

    I also own an ArmorRest which I did use for awhile, and it's a fine rest. What I liked most about it was that it offers full containment in a way that your arrow doesn't move or flop around at all. The arms of the rest hold your arrow in place until you shoot. For guys that do any amount of spot & stalk, or even a lot of ground blind hunting, the ArmorRest is a great choice.

    Justin, the top load on the original rest had become pretty bothersome for me...glad they improved the new version but I am not sure that will be my upgrade as I would like something like an HD that is locked in the load position.

    now my ibo on my invasion is around 320-330 w/maxima blue streak select arrows at 250 grain and the 100 grain slick tricks.
    will there be any clearing problems with my fletchings? and will it open if i go to full draw then back out?
