RE: Anybody heard of or tried the Air-rest?
I've looked at these things and talked to the inventor / founder. IMO its good idea that needs refining to be a feasible hunting solution. First of all, it's too expensive - $150 is alot of money. Second, you have to use their inserts which are also expensive. The guy told me that they were working with a broadhead manufacturer to develop a magnetic broadhead that you could just screw in to a regular insert but then you'd have to use their broadhead [&:]. If it was a slick trick or muzzy that'd be okay but I doubt it will be.
If it were 40or 50 bucks AND you didn't have to buy their special inserts AND I could shoot my own broadheads I'd definitely buy one. Until then I won't. I DO like the idea of no moving parts and no arrow contact with the rest though....
