RE: Rests
Cool, I wish I had that kind of opportunity to tinker and try stuff out. Being a lefty and not working in a pro shop limits my resources.
I used to shoot the Trap Door in its original version. It was a pretty good rest. The one thing that did bother me was that if I ever needed a follow up shot or missed and got a second shot I would have to reset the rest. If in the heat of the moment I was able to get this done the rest had a pretty loud click when set that I worried would spook game. Fortunately, I never had to test these theories, and the rest went when I sold that bow, but it was always on my mind.
