    Hey guys i need some help with picking out a new rest for my bow. I want a nice rest for a nice price. Preferably a drop away/fall away rest. Just wondering if you have any feed back about this rest such as likes and dislikes. And also if i should look at a whole new rest. Thanks for your time:D

    My choices would be in the following order and are my best sellers as well.

    1. VaporTrail Limb Driver either Pro Series or Full Containment
    2. Ripcord Code Red
    3. NAP Apache I think it is slightly behind the above rests but still a good rest for a nice price.

    The lowest price of the rest that i found is 100 dollars but my price range is up to around 120 give or take.

    im currently using the trip wire, i think its a nice rest. switched from the QAD ultra rest. i havent had any clearance problems at all. also, it seems to be very quiet. over all, i like it.

    I'm running a Tripwire on both my Destroyer 340s and really have been happy with them... not a single issue on either of them, and that includes hauling one of them through some pretty rough territory out in Colorado elk hunting.

    I've also had a Limbdriver on at least eight or nine of my other bows, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that rest either.

    I just switched to the code red. Havent got to shoot it at any sort of distance but from what i can tell its quite and was easy to install. I got it off ebay for around 75 post shipping and handling

    I'm a Limbdriver guy. I started using it two seasons ago and haven't had a single issue.

    What I like about this rest is the simplicity of it in terms of how it functions as well as how it sets up and tunes.

    And they are dead accurate and forgiving thanks to the spring steel launcher.
