RE: ripcord rest
i have one on my guardian (although the bow went into the shop today). i like it a lot. some may say it is noisy with the arrow, but the archery shop put a piece of cotton-like fabric on it. i think overall, the ripcord works great, i have no complaints at all.i spent 87 bucks for mine ( $79 for black)($87 for camo).
