With my Admiral expecting to come in any time in the next several weeks I am beginning to look at rests. My proshop guy recommends the Octane Hostage Pro very highly, however, I've heard that the brushes wear out pretty quickly. I had a regular hostage on my Tomkat and never had this problem.
So, I was just wondering if you all would recommend going with the Hostage pro or another type of rest. Thanks for any advice.

I have the hostage pro on my black ice and love it. Yeah the brushes are going to wear out eventually but the new ones are only like $9. I've shot mine probably500 times so far and they're not wearing out at all. The only thing I don't like is fuzz from my field point target gets stuck in the brushes and I have to clean it out every now and then.

I think the Hostage Pro is a great full containment rest if you are looking for that type of rest.
I have a Limb Driver on my BowTech Captain!

I put an Ultra Rest on mine and like it.. If I was going to go to a containment rest though it would be the hostage pro.. Might try it one day, I like how quiet they can be...
