Default Best Drop-Away for Hoyts

i was going to get the QAD Ultra-Rest but it wont work because of the wrist guard being there and the string wont let the rest go down when you shoot it. So i was wondering what drop-aways work well with hoyts.

I love my limbdriver...after I get over the fact that it isn't full containment....if you aren't worried about full containment, I don't see how any drop away could outperform the limbdriver. There are plenty that work great though, I just like having nothing tied into my cables...probably doesn't hurt anything, just a mental thing...

Limb Driver

Although it is not full containment, I have never had an issue with the arrow falling off the rest. I just hook my index finger over the arrow when I am stalking and move it before shooting. The fact that the LD remains flat to the arrow shelf when not drawn makes this quite easy to do.

I honestly think the Limb Driver is the best dropaway out there right now. I am still running a special on Ebay.

The new containment arms this year, which will be available very soon will make this rest even more attractive to Hunters.

Personally I've never had a problem with the rest as is, but I will test the new arm to see what I think of it.

I have a Limbdriver on my Vectrix. It works exceptionally well. The containment thing has been a mental issue with me, but I have never had the containment thing be a problem, hunting or otherwise. The LD is an outstanding rest!
