RE: ripcord vs. shakey hunter
If you are going to use a Trophy Taker I've had better luck tuning the Original than the Shakey, that said the Shakey I have I modified the prongs ( cut them down) so it's closer to the size of the original. I have yet to shoot BH out of it but the bow I have the Original on shoots BH's awesome. The timing if these rest's is crucial and can be time consuming but when done right they are a great rest. IMO
