RE: hunting rest
Another vote for the limb driver...I love it. They also give you a small arrow holder that glues on your shelf and I can turn my bow upside down and it stays put.

RE: hunting rest
ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter ORIGINAL: BigJ71 ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter If you're looking for an idiot proof rest, the Hostage is a must have. All the benefits of the Whisker Biscuit without all the fletching contact. I've been a die hard drop away fan for several years, but I'm considering a switch to the Hostage this year. Second, if you are shooting with anything more than a slight offset (4 deg.) on your vanes then either the front edge or the trailing edge of the vane will make contact with the bristles depending on how you orientate it on the rest. Third, it's made of a fairly strong but still a "plastic type" material. The mounting arm (the extension piece that goes from the riser bracket to the rest head) on mine was slightly bent, from the molding process no doubt. I was still able to tune it and it worked fine but it's no way near the quality of the Whisker Biscuit. The Biscuit is all aluminum and a far sturdier rest (IMO). I bought one to check it out and do some testing on it. It's a pretty good rest but I ended up giving it away on one of my "late night giveaways" I would take the Whisker Biscuit over the Hostage any day of the week and twice on Sundays.:D The only thing I dislike about it, is as you mentioned, the fact that its made of plastic. It seems durable enough, but plastic is plastic and it has a tendancy to break at the most inopportune times. |

I'm shooting 4in Duravanes with abouta 4 deg offset and mine cleared....barely with absolutely no room for error! But when I tried shooting a few arrows with tighter offsets, no matter how I arranged the arrow it would either hit the leading edge or if I rotated it on the string so the front edge would clear, the trailing edge would contact.[:@] I agree about the plastic. Mineseemed sturdy and I'm sure it's a pretty good polymer but like you said "plastic is plastic" and I didn't try it in sub zero weather either so I don't know what the extreme cold will do to it. |

ORIGINAL: whitetailbowhunter I bought a Hostage to go with my Marquis and I can't seem to be able to stop my blazers from contacting my rest. |
