What am I on???????
I am on my Bike 6 hours a day, Busting my A**...thats what I am on.
Following is some info I thought some might find useful-
Quote:
Apapro, how fast does the rest twist/drop away? Sufficiently fast enough to prevent fletch contact for a 28" arrow launched at 290 fps from a 21.5" powerstroke bow?
How about if you adjust the dwell time so the rest stays put a bit after release, to give the shaft some guidance?
Rangeball:
We have shot arrows through the rest in excess of 320 fps. with 4" and 5 " fletch. Both on 30" and 27 " arrows. The rest is super fast to move out of the way when set on its fastest setting. There are three settings for spring tension, and there is also a kit that you can buy for the twister that turns it into a conventional spring loaded rest if you so desire.
In our testing we also used the turbo knock large and small. At speeds of 310 fps + we had no problems with this type of flething ( when the bow is properly tuned)
As far as dwell time that will be adjusted with the spring tension and rope length.
I shoot the latest prototype on my Extreme VFT and shoot speeds of 320 fps. and I have the Twister set at its stongest setting. Last night I shot two rounds of Fita with it and scored 297 (21 x's) and a 299 (19 x's). That is out of a bow with a 6 5/8" brace height..
So you see that the rest is extremely accurate.
Let me know if that answers your questions.

Finally. I mean I was finally aware of an item before Rangeball posted about it on here.
This on intrigues me as well. I might have to try it this off season also. Unless you use an extremely aggressive helical it might just work...and work well at that.
Unless you use an extremely aggressive helical it might just work
Frank, why do you see that as a concern? The rest drops/swings away, so contact should be a non issue, unless you order the kit and use it as a standard fixed position rest like the others they sell...
No idea on price point, I'll try to find out and report back. Hopefully cheap enough so you or Rack will take the plunge

Looks good , after trying too many fallaways , I have liked the muzzy and trophy taker , but this thing looks promising . I think the manufacture had a good idea by showing slow motion photography of it in action .

Let your dealers know about us, we can send out a dealer package to them.
As for vane configuration we recommend that you shoot cock vane down, but we have shot large turbo nocks through the rest and we have had no problems with vane contact and they are 4 fletched. We also have shot 4 and 5 inch vanes through the rest and had no problems. So it may work for you, you will just have to try and see.
