I had one put on my TomKat last week. Haven't had a chance to put many shots through it, but I was very pleased that it held the arrow as well as it did. That was my biggest concern. Hard to be certain, but I don't think it was any louder or quieter on the draw than my biscuit was. I'll probably try to cover the bottom bristles with moleskin.

I almost forgot to mention... Catawba has sold that rest to Bowtech, who has renamed it The Hostage.
