It works great with Blazers with zero fletching contact.

I don't use one personally but I can keep enough of them in stock. They sell 3 to 1 over the WB.

I was thinking about trying one. But I was curious about how well the brushes hold up. I like the fact that you have full containment likea WB but at the same time can avoid the fletching contact.

I have one on my Guardian and I LOVE it. I shoot around 30-50 arrows a day and the brushes are holding up just fine. Bowtech states that isn't intended for use with Axis arrows. I shoot FMJ's and when we set the bow up we paper tuned it at the shop and then I walk back tuned at home. I am getting great flight out to 80 yds. For hunting, I can't think of a rest I'd rather use.

Brett, what type of fletching and offset are you using on your arrows? And do you have any problems with fletching contact?

If you like or think you need Full Containment the Hostage rest by Bowtech has all the advantages of the WB without full fletching contact.
