I need HELP!! I am in desperate need to tinker with my bow(s) this winter. I want to play with a drop away rest and need advised from the pros...

I shoot a parker ultra lite 35 @70 lbs, 30 inch GT xt hunter carbons W/ 85 heads. I am currently using a whisker bisket but I want to tinker to try and gain some more speed, forgivness(sp)?

Any and all advise would great.

Thanks KOZ

I bought a Ripcord fall away rest and I have been using it for the
last couple of weeks, so far I really like it.

I've got a Parker Hunter Mag. I use a QAD Ultra Rest and I'm very happy.

Trophy Taker or Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter....light, simple and very proven.

Good Luck!

Kozman... my dealer steered me away from a trap-door.He claims they are too sensitive for hunting. I think he is right... if you bang your bow from front or rear the rest will collapse.I didn't want to take that chance while hunting... even though a friend of mine uses one and loves it.
I may try the Schaffer... very well built and after the first of the year they are suppose to come out with interchangebale posts that are like the Ultra Qadwhich has a large U prong setup to completely conatin the arrow.
