RE: Schaefer Rest
I am probably the exception on this rest. I bought a new Ross 334 this past fall and was determined to buy the best of everything for this bow. I bought a Schaffer rest as I had heard they were the best of everything in a drop away. I had previously used Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter rests. Anyway, I put this rest on my bow and shot it for about a week for a long time each day. I will say that I liked everything about this rest except its lack of containment. As was mentioned, your arrow will pop off if you don't draw really slow. This wasn't something I wanted to have to worry about when drawing on a deer. I also found that it didn't contain the arrow much at all if the bow was tilted to the left or right for those trickier shots from a treestand that we are presented with at times. Overall, I just felt like it was a dropaway version of a plain old prong rest and not worth the $115 that it cost. As mentioned, the adjustments and materials and craftmenship are second to none on the rest, but just didn't feel that it would make a very good hunting rest. If I was was target shooter, I would be buying another Schaffer. However, I ended up returning the rest and buying the new Trophy Taker Pronghorn rest that I absolutely love.
