RE: Ripcord, QAD, or Trophy Taker rest?
I shoot the QAD and I'm very happy with it. I took it over the ripcord because you can let the arrow down if you decide not to shoot without the rest falling down.
The bar over the top really isn't need because the "V" is pretty deep. You would almost have to tip your bow upside down for it to be useful.
