I bought the Mirage but !
Well,after all the good advice I got on the "HELP WITH FALL AWAY REST" post, I went to the shop yesterday with the intention of buying the NAP 4000. It was a little more than I could afford right now , so I bought the Mirage instead.I was able to get the one with the 3 screws and the shorter mounting bar, which I think has all the upgrades.Being the ultra smart person that I am <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I decided to lock tight all the screws so they won't come loose. The bar that holds one side of the lancher arm was a little crooked but while putting the rubber tubing on it and lock tighting the screws, I turned it around and it was straight.I took the two outside screws out that hold the rest bar to the mount and lock tighted them. All is going well so far. Took out the screw that GKF added to the bar,put lock tight on it but when I screwed it back in , it never tightened up. No, I didn't strip or cross thread it, It NEVER tried to tighten. Being an electrical tech. and working with a GREAT machinist, I can either drill the hole deaper and tap or put a little longer screw in it. After paper tuning which with every fall away rest I have tried, requires a fairly high nocking point. (not sure why)I tried the spring and cord, which shot OK but just a little woried about the spring holding up. I tried the rubber tubing but it reminded me of the zero peep tubing that breaks and hits guys in the eye. I settled for the cord by itself. Took the screw out, that holds the spring, and ran the cable thru the hole and tied the other end into my cable that goes down.Have shot some really good groups and like the rest overall but I fear the pull down bar that is attached to the launcher wire will either break the wire or wear the hole in the rest where the wire goes thru. I hope this doesn't happen. The BIGGEST problem I have is when you shoot with this rest, If you remember thoes hatchet cam bows of a few years ago, is the KAAAA WHACK it makes when you shoot. I had this noise with all three of the cable options. I could REALLY use some help as I can not afford to replace this rest before hunting season <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>.
