QAD Ultra rest. Make sure they tune your bow after it's been installed. Look it up and read about it first. I used to shoot the biscuit but lost speed. Nota issues with the QAD.

Trophy taker is pretty good...a lot of people swear by those. I am currently using a NAP 2000 RG on my Mathews. I like it a lot. Easy to setup and use. It even came with an instructional DVD...showing you exactly what to do to set it up...can't get any easier than that!!!

Here's a second vote for the NAP Smart Rest. I'm using the NAP QT4000 but I think I'll switch to the Smart Rest next time.

I'm using the Schaffer Mat-1 and really like it. Check out http://www.schafferarchery.com/productcatalog.aspxand note the Mat-1 fits Mathews, E-2 fits most bows including Bow Tech, Tec-1 fits Hoyt. It ran around $100. Ray

I had the Schaffer Tec-1 on my Trykon and thought it was a well made,good looking rest, but I couldn't tune it. Thats when I switched to the NAP Smart Rest

The two that i've stuck with so far is,the NAP SmartRest, a pretty good system, BUT I HATE the "THUMP" you get after the shot with the 'Vee armstricking the rubber arrow holder".
The other rest is the TR DZ, micro adjust. However this restgives 'me' a bit more time to tune. The locking system on the windage bar could do with some changes and the twosprings on the suspension rods should be a little longer.
They are so many D/A rest now to choose from. The Muzzy works well, but it's really a hulk of a rest (for me).

Rip Cord fall away rest! Adjustable, durable, simple to setup and it works a long time. List around $79.
