I've shot the WB since I started bowhunting 2 and a half years ago. I think it's a really good hunting rest but, I didn't think I was as accurate as I could be so, I just installed the "RipCord" fall-away yesterday. I like it OK so far, I'm in the process of tuning it up right now. I was just curious as to what rest you all use and why you like it.
currently using a DropZone, its a decent rest, I'm going to go to a QAD before the season starts, with the DZ I get and arrow jumping off the rest about 1 outta 10 times... I want something with a little containment for hunting... though I'm tempted to go back to the biscuit from my other bow...
I have been shooting the NAP quicktune 2000 drop away for a while now and really like it except for the fact that it is very hard to adjust accurately.
Using the QAD on mine I have the luxury of fall away and full containment. Works well for me just took a little work to set up properly, but thats because I did it myself instead of a professional.
First one to vote full containment? I use the Hostage Pro and switched from the WB. I prefer full containment because I have the philosphy of the less moving parts the better. Just my opinion.
I have different bows with different setups. My primary bow has a QAD drop away. My backup has a Whisker Bisquit.
Exactly, I was gonna say, WHY NOT BOTH!!! That Kaz was a little tricky to set-up considering someone else set it up wrong, but once I fixed it, it's MONEY!!!
On 3 of my 6 bows I have a Limb Driver on them. They are my hunting bows. I'm going to order a Kaz that Doug here is talking about because I watched elkhuntinut shoot one all day at the NE GTG and I'm impressed with it as well.
I hunt with limb drivers on both my rigs. I got nothing against say a Pro Hostage though. With my limb drivers, I incorporate a sims arrow holder on the shelf.
Limb driver has won me over from a trophy taker. I have had one on my last 5 bows and they are fool proof.
I use a QAD on my hunting bows. Whisker Biscuits on my bowfishing bows. (tho' the name kind of bugs me)
Whisker biscuit here. I just really like the simplicity. Perfect for hunting, quiet. I will probably get a new bow next year and I am thinking about putting the QAD that is both full containment and a drop away.
Exactly, I did mine by myself, too. It's a learning experience for me. I've always said, "if he can do it, so can I" Here's my new rest and I love it: http://s673.photobucket.com/albums/vv100/UrbanArcher/?action=view¤t=ripcordshow23.jpg&newest=1
I've been using the Hostage Pro and liked it fine except the bottom brush wears after about 500 arrows or so. I switched recently to the Limbdriver on my Alphamax and I have to say it is even better than the Hostage Pro. Easy to tune and it's bullet proof.
