Myself and 4 of my friends have the RipCords on our bows, and we all love them. Only 1 guy had a problem with it, and it was the way it was put on, and RipCord sent him a brand new rest, he had a differnt shop put it back on, and since then no problems with his

I have one on my Allegiance shooting Gold Tip 7595 Pro-Hunters.......so far so good but I haven't been shooting that bow much beyond messing around.
It's still the hot and heavy 3D season so I won't get to really evaluate it for a couple weeks yet.

So far it seems very quiet and consistent but I also want to try the Muzzy Zero Effect "Next Gen" for parallel limb bows on it as well. I loved my ZE's for the years leading up til' the limbs really started getting laid back and they became a pain to tune. Now they have one that apparently compliments today's extreme limb angles and low slide travel so I want to try it as well before I decide on a winner for the season.

I have one on my Patriot and like it much better than the Shakey Hunter rest I had previously. My group shrunk a considerable amount when I made the switch. The full enclosure of the upper bar really makes it nice. I did however sand down the thickness of the upper arm where it mounts to the rest to get it closer to the launcher when it's in the up position.
One other trick I tried was to put a foam ear plug with a light string through it between the containment arm and the arrow. This holds the arrow nice and tight so it doesn't bounce around while you're walking and when you draw the bow the ear plug falls away and hangs harmlessly by the string.

It works for me but I haven't trieda lot of other rests.
