Not that I know of. It seems like it just hit the market in the last few weeks. There was a fairly extensive discussion of it over on the tech. forum in the last week or two.

It's not that knew, we talked about it on AT a while ago, as far as I know nobody has actually tried it though. I don't go there very often any more so maybe someone has tried it by now.

I know I never will. It sort of looks like a way to make the WB more complicated. I'm not a big fan of the WB, why would I want to try a more complicated version of it?

I think I would shoot off a flipper rest before I tried something like that personally.

Interesting. It better have a heck of a magnetic domain or you will get a lot of arrow bounce. I assume you need special arrows.

Secial inserts, or heads made by them. Pretty much limits you to what you can shoot.

i have because i still use one!!!! and i might add it shoots quite well.

but anyhow this is the first i've heard of that kind of rest it does seem like there would be alot of movement about no matter what you did with it.

Turning a pure form of hunting into a sci-fi game. What happened to throwing a spear??I'll stick with my TM Hunter and whisker biscut rests.
