Default air rest

Has anyone used a air rest for deer hunting. Just wondered if anyone has had problems with them when they draw back and have the arrow hit the top of the rest .

Neat idea, but for the money they want for one of those and their "special" inserts......Think I'll fix the brakes on my van....

It would be a great idea if you didnt have to get the special inserts

For a 150.00 bucks, I would pass, unless it does something real special!

I am not all that fond of them for hunting (I think they are an excelent rest for target) but if you guys want to try them I have them on Ebay for $89.99 buy it now. I have 5 left.
