There was a Mathews Tech who posted on their site how it works, and how it's different from the Whammy several days ago. Very interesting stuff.

BTW, an tech geek messed up the photo they had on their site originally...which had it attached to the outter string....not where it actually is (under the roller guard).


Here's what the Tech says:



"The rest is not the same as the Whammy.

The rest is in the down position when the bow is in the static position. As you draw the bow the rest will raise to the up position, on the shot the rest will remain for approximately 90% of the arrow length being completely out of the way when the fletching arrives.

The rest attaches to the string (the one that goes through the roller guard) at the very bottom of the serving. It then attaches to the rest and in the static position you simply hold down on the prongs and pull tight on the cord and lock the screw down. The rest is perfectly timed and can be retimed at any time perfectly with an Allen wrench.

If anyone watched this weeks Mathews TV, you would see that the rest I am shooting in the Tech Tips portion of the show is the new Mathews Rest, and I'm kind of shocked nobody noticed it. I've been shooting the rest for around 8 months and it is undoubtedly the most user-friendly and best performing rests I have used to date (and I have played with A LOT of rests).

Take care,

Steve"
