Wait til' you see the new "HostagePro" rest. ;)

Where canI see it? Question: On the Still Shot won't the bristles that hold the arrow on the bottom wear out first and rather quickly affecting your tuning?

The bristles are really tough.........I had a Hostage on my general all last season and did a lot of shooting and don't really see any wear? To answer your question, yeah they will wear out first, they have to........I just don't know how long that takes. They are an insert though so each bristle set can be replaced.

The cool features of teh Hostage Pro:
Fully machined, sleeker design, full adjustable windage and elevation and the bristles inserts ride on angled tracks cut into the frame. the angle allows you to set them precisely to accomodate any arrow from a 2512 all the way down t the skinnies Axis style shaft.
Nice looking extremely functional hunting rest and IMO makes the Whisker biscuit obsolete. ;)

I have to agree with Matt, very quality rest but I'm very excited about seeing the new Hostage Pro. Might be worth waiting for.

Fully machined?

Including the housing for the bristles?

Only thing I disliked about the Hostage was the plastic housing.

If thats the case, I may have to pick one up when they're available.

Yep everything is machined and the cage is a little thinner sleeker looking and a larger diameter to really allow ample clearance for Blazer style vanes.
Trust me you will really like it when you see it.

Sweet deal, Matt. I'll definitely have one this year then!
