RE: Best REST for: "hunting" and "target shooting"
As far as popular "target" rests, one of the most popular is the ProTuner blade rest. Very simple and lots of top archers have them. Downside is that arrowscan bouce off the blade when you draw. Usually that happens when someone is trying to pull too much draw weight. Nice rest with lots of easy adjustability.
As far as hunting rests, geez- there's tons out there that are all quality items. There's full containment, drop away, prong springs, etc...
I tend to like drop-aways. Lots of good ones out there. I've liked Trophy Takers and haven't seen a good reason to switch to something else. I got tired of switching between "target" rests and "hunting" rests, so I just started to leave my TT on there for everything. And with good results (for me).
Some guys I know have seen there scores go up when going from a dropaway to a normal target rest. But for me, I've shot more 60X games with a TT than I have with any other rest.
Find what works best for you and your setup!
