I need a new rest. I bought my bow as a "package" that the guy at the bow shop put together on my limited budget.
The bow itself is a Browning with solid limbs and Ive beenquite happy with it. I know its nothing special, but it gets me in the woods and thats all that matters to me. The rest has a label that says HHA sports. This ring a bell? Its a simple drop away rest as I said no frills. Its gotten me deer every year Ive taken it out, and Ive yet to track beyond 75 yards.
I noticed a problem this year when the rubber sheaths over the rest had worn away. Now you can hear the arrow (I shoot carbons with mechanical broadheads. 125g Spitfires are what Ive been using. I know its probably a sin to shoot mechanicals, but Im that hip to the tech side of archery YET...Im trying to learn and dont know the specs to ask for more advice on this) when I draw back and release. Its this gawd awful demonic sound that I know for a fact I wont get a shot with.
So my self preserving self decided torotate the sheaths and keep shooting. Well that didnt work. They rolled back over and went back to their grooves and made an awful sound again. Ive not had any luck trying to replace the sheaths either.
So my question is without getting ultra crazy prices any suggestions on a new rest? Something that I hopefully wont run into this problem with? Or if I need to replace them, then a better line of product that I can easily find new sheaths for?
Im not that much of a tight wad, I just dont have a $150 to drop on a new rest just because its the latest and greatest. Im looking for something reliable and easy to replace parts on if nessecary. Im after the F150 of rests!!!
I appreciate any suggestions and help on this.
