Spot Hogg Whammy

I have to post this.I have been eyeballing these rest for about a year now and never would pull the trigger and get one.Well,I had my shop order one in and he had it the next day.


To be honest,I thought it would be a pain to time but I could not have been more wrong.I actually think it is easier to setup than a standard dropaway.


This rest really isn't like the other dropaways on the market.It actually slams out of the way at the very last second and resets.No cocking,no setting,no worrying if it will raise,it just drops for the fletching and that is it.It has contact with the entire arrow up untill it drops right before the fletching gets to it.


I Made a couple marks on my arrow from where my springsteel was set and bolted the Whammy on and measured to my marks to ensure I was back in the exact locations and followed the installation instructions which after I had watched the video on Spot Hogg's websight,I didn't really need.They actually make it seem harder than it is.

I then grabbed the bow and shot through paper.Bullet hole.I backed up,bullet hole.I backed up further and still a bullet hole.I then grabbed an arrow with vanes instead of feathers and again,BULLET HOLE.

The rest was quiet on the draw and the shot,not only would I reccomend this rest for hunting,but I would reccomend this rest for spots.Atleast I would right now.After I get a chance to shoot it for a while I will know better if it might have some tendancies to change but as of now,I don't see it.

One of the best attributes to this rest is it has the old Golden Premier style micro adjustments which I LOVE.
