We tested the APA rests on the Merlins at the show also-- Nibal was nice enough to offer to install a few of them for us to try and evaluate.

Personally, I do not care for fallaways as a rule and the twister is no exception, tho I do like other APA rests. I think there is far too much vibration coming from the tips of the wire loop that are not connected together during the shot on both this one and the regular twister, and you can feel it during the shot. For some reason the new sideloader standard model isn't anywhere near as bad as the twister when it comes to this, probably because it is a heavier design and the rest area where the arrow itself sits and passes is solid. Of the two, I would definately opt for the sideloader because of the lesser vibration and the fact that loading it is a snap and far easier than the twister. I think they did well with that one, but the twister is like a tuning fork to me even with the rubber on it, and it's a pain to load.. JMHO, Pinwheel 12
