Have you guys seen Bowtechs new arrow rest?
What do you guys think?
Germ,
Old news Bow Tech didn't invent that rest, they bought out another company (name slips me right now) I purchased one to give it a test....it's ok but now way near a WB. The main problem is if you have more than a 4deg. offset on your vanes/feathers then either the leading edge will contact the vane or if you rotate it so the leading edge doesn't hit then the trailing edge does.
Also, it's made of a plastic polymer, while it seemed to be sturdy, I prefer an all metal rest.
Last and most important, if you bump an arrow on that rest it's going to send it through the bristles and clang against the plastic ring of the rest. They supply mole skin to put on that area for that very reason. Then you will have to re-set it back into position. If you bump an arrow on the WB it will reset itself. My bow is a "mole skin free" zone.
It's not a bad rest and I'm waiting to see what upgrades were done to it before I make a final decision on it...for now nothing touches the WB.
