I have had it on my bow for about a year now. I realy like the rest. I heard that some people were having problems with the rest during cold weather but that didn' t happen to me. The rest has performed without a problem. I would reccomend useing the dakota arrow holder with it. It holds the arrow realy well on this rest. And yes it' s true that if you wack the front of your riser the rest drops, it takes a solid smack not just a slight bump.
