Anyone ever shot one of these?

I am seriously considering giving this rest a try. Full containment so no arrow drop off. Can be adjust properly to provide full clearance or any type of paradoxal support you desire (I believe)

Looks like the cat' s meow for hunting. I think this will be my rest for ' 03, and hopefully for a long, long time

I wonder how easy it would be to feed some fixed bladed broadheads through the unit. Doesn' t look to easy to me.

How are you not going to get fleth contatct? I' ve seen these and from the pictures it appears there would be a lot of potential for contact?

It may be a full capture rest, but it looks like the arrow could rattle around and make quite a bit of noise. Not something that entices me, as a hunter. If I' m going to have a full capture rest, I also want no side to side movement of the arrow and one that looks like it will be very quiet when stalking with the bow.

I saw them at Harrisburg. Didn' t impress me very much, for all the reasons already said.

Lots of rests CLAIM to offer total fletch clearance, but all you have to do is look at them and the claim is very doubtful. This rest may have decent clearance with straight or slightly offset fletch. I can' t see helical not being a problem, though. I used to shoot a Tiger Tough D' Longhorn that had similar geometry around the prongs. Straight offset cleared, helical, nope! It might still be OK, but I' m not interested to drop the $ they want for the rest.

I have one for sale if anyone wants one real bad. I had it on my sons bow for a short period of time, but didn' t care for it.
