RE: ripcord vs. shakey hunter
I would go with the QAD Ultra Rest. I like mine because it stays locked up if I let-down my bow. I do not think the ripcord does this. Also I think QAD makes a rest that goes down when you let-down so when/if you order/buy it then make sure to get the right one. My proshop is selling this like crazy and they are a very nice rest.
