    QAD Hoyt edition all the way. Locks down to your riser just by being tightened down, full containment, stays up on letdown. 100% reliable. I wont shoot anything else

    I have both...I prefer the QAD HDX rest..if you buy the QAD...make sure its the HDX model though. The Apache is a good rest though. Little on the heavy side.

    i like the apache better. i just dont like the idea of anything locking on my rest. i had a QAD bone collector edition on my MR6 it worked well, but for the money i like the apache. I am looking at getting a new trophy taker for my next bow its alot like the apache, but built better.

    The G5 does look good. I'd like to see it shot with blazers though.

    The video looks like the clearance is awe fully tight on the rest and the containment bar. Idk could just be the angle.

    I had an apache but didn't like it. I ended up going back to a ripcord. I'm very happy with that rest.

    I didn't like the apache didn't lock up into place. The arrow could travel a lot more. Doesn't sound like a big deal but in the treestand, an arrow that has more movement is just something else that could go wrong.
    My buddy had an apache and didn't like that you had to load the arrow from the back (loading from the top would interfere with his sight)

    What's the difference in the rip cord SOS and the regular rip cord?

    #1. QAD HDX. Worth the MONEY! #2. Apache works well too.
