i find it kind of funny that you have no idea what your talking about....the fleece is there in case you tilt your arrow the wrong way and it hits the side.

This statement may have been better accepted if the first part had been eliminatedso as to read; "T
he fleece is there in case you tilt your arrow the wrong way and it hits the side."

this rest works great enough that im going to use it at the indoor worlds
[/align][/align]
Since this is a entitled a "Bowhunting" forum, usage "at the indoor worlds" may not have as much impact as you think.

If youtook the time to go to the link I provided, youwould see that I tried to use this rest andit didn't work. It was set up by the manufacturer, so I'm sureTHEY knew how to set it up correctly. It's a good idea that needs more work before they try tosell it to a market that covers a much broader spectrum than target archery.

this rest will tell you if you have bad form...if you creep foward the arrow will drop.
[/align][/align]
In a "Bowhunting" format, creeping forward can be an everyday occurrence. That in itself can be the criteria for non-acceptance by the largest segment of the archery industry.

it helps to have a bow with a solid wall or draw stop so you can only draw it so far...if you draw to far back then it will drop or go to the side of the rest....
[/align][/align]
First, not all bows have 'solid' back walls and/or draw stop capabilities. There are a lot of older one-cam, two-cam, and hybrid cam bows in the field that have either softer back walls or no back walls. Second, drawing back too far and having it drop is a function of the first item and is cause for 'failure'.

if this happens it is because you either set it up wrong or you have bad form
[/align][/align]
Part A of this sentence has been explained by the above and Part B is an insult to a lot of hunters. Hunting form can be a lot different than target form in both equipment and set-up. I just did a seminar on this subject.

i have good form and have never had a problem with it dropping.

Congratulations. But remember, we're in a different venue here.

the way mine is set up it has a little more than a 1/4 of creep before it will drop....
[/align][/align]
1/4 (") of creep is not much in the haste associated with some hunting scenarios; especially when you don't have a 'hard' back wall or a draw stop that can move.

This is what I posted:

I love when a'staff shooter' comes on here to promote items they are probably given and expect other archers/hunters to shell out some heavy money for an 'developmental' product.
[/align]
If you read the text carefully, you'll note that I used the word "probably". I guess it hit a nerve because you reacted adversely.
I hope that you and others take the time to check out this link. You will find that I have high hopes for this rest, but feel that it needs a lot more developmentalwork before it'smarketed to the industry as a whole.

Anyway, this subject was covered quite well in the 'Technical' section on this forum. Here isa link and just one post of quite a fewthat I made:
