If you're looking for a pure hunting rest, I'd highly recommend looking at the APA Twister Safari. I've been using one for 2 years now and can't think of another rest that does what it can. FULL containment from rest to draw. You can turn the bow upside down if you want. Its very quiet and simple to setup. Vane clearance is also not hard to obtain with this rest. I love the thing. If I end up with a new bow this year for whatever reason, its going on it for sure.

If you have a good shop nearby I'd say try all they have. What's good for one person is not always good for another. If for hunting then I'd say the one with the least amount of bells and whistles. KISS.

But from the dozen or so that I've tried I'd have to say the best one is the GKF Infiniti dropper. In reality they all do basically the same thing.

It used to be a MZE for me , have changed to vaportrails limbdriver , and like it better , Im giveing QAD another try allso , as soon as some strings come in for me , cant beat the total capture plus fallaway features , if I can get clearance . I had problems with the muzzy rest this year with the hook snaging and turning/ moveing , on a spot and stalk elk hunt . the only other problem Ive had with the muzzy was the arm breaking , thats happened a number of time to me .

My favorite all around is my current HTM.
Not for everyone as it's big and heavy but have notseen its equal construction wise.
It reminds me ofa Trophy Taker on steriods.


Sag.
