Damn man, sorry to hear about the troubles. You sound like me, if it can go wrong it does and does so right before season. As far as rests go, I like the QAD ultra rest, its a full containment and a dropaway all in one. I personaly am shooting the cobra double diamond dropaway, its awsome. You can adjust height, lift, drop speed, windage pretty much everything its a great rest for about 75 for camo and about 10 dollars cheaper for a black one. Hope this helps and good luck.
