RE: Catawba archery rests?
If you like plastic equipment, the catawaba is the way to go IMO.
I had the chance to play around with one a while ago.
Helical fletched arrows come into contact with the stiff fibers, resulting in crazy arrow flight and almost no downrange consistancy.
On a cheaper carbon arrow, the whiskers made noise as they rubbed against the gritty carbon shaft.
I was able to take the plastic mold injected frame and bend it quite a bit. On a bow, I don't want that.
All of these combined made me look into other rests for hunting.
Best of luck!
