    I agree. I started with a Trophy Taker and switched to a Rip Cord and have no regrets at all. I love that I can lock it in the up position, and the rest is captured, so while sitting in the woods, no worries of the arrow not being ready.

    I have really liked my NAP Apache, just so long as you replace the stock felt with moleskin or something like that.

    That is right, I thought you were saying that you just move the rest up until you didn't have contact and tuned your bow to that. If you went from the nocking point you should be good.

    I've always been a huge Bodoodle fan, and I finally switched to a drop away this past spring. Got a Ripcord Code Red, and I can't believe how much I like it! I think it's almost the perfect rest, but that's just my opinion. One thing I'd change is Id like it to be micro adjustable.
    Shot my buddies trophy taker for a few days before I bought mine, and I didn't mind it, but I didn't like how un-precise the launcher seemed.

    I don't have one yet but will be ordering one for my new bow. I'll have a review for you in a couple months. So far anyone I've seen who uses one loves it. Limbdriver is coming out with a new rest that looks like a full containment one. It could be interesting.

    I though the new Vital Gear Kaz-Away MVP was pretty nice, might put it on my new set up.

    Don't forget about the Apache by NAP. Heard great things about it and it is cheap.
