I've never seen that rest before, but their footage is pretty cool to watch. It always amazes me how far forward the string travels upon release, as well as how much the arrow flexes.

As for the rest, it looks rather easy to set up and simple to use. I'm not a huge fan of the launcher that holds the arrow, but that's just me.

RE: alright guys wat do u think of this?
 

It's pretty neat, but from what I have been told, a drop away should guide (remain in contact with) the arrow for about 3-5 inches before falling away. That was always my goal when I used to shoot my Golden Key Premier Drop away. I would have to adjust both the spring tension and stretchable cord length and position to achieve the right combination.

The longer the rest stays in contact with the arrow, the more the arrow is guided down range. Of course there is a point where that guided time is too long.

That looks pretty good. It won't take any speed away from the bow with cords and such. I think I will check one of them out even though I am happy with my current one.

Looks like a whole lot of arrow movement if you watch it slowly. I know arrows flex but if it had something to glide along as the arrow travels along the rest it would cause much less flex or wobble, whatever you want to call it. I'll stick to my WB tyvm. Still pretty neat though.

RE: alright guys wat do u think of this?
 

That's sweet video. I think that arrow flex is normal. I've seen slow motion video for several other rests and they all flexed like that. I don't know how long the rest is supposed to contact the shaft. On one hand it makes sense that it should stay touching as long as possible without fletching contact. On the other hand, the longer it contacts the rest the more sensitive the arrow is to any kind of flinching / torquing of the grip.

My thoughts are it would be noisy as all get out when you drew back in the woods.

Definitely would need moleskin on the prongs. Not a big deal - most rests do.
