Default New Rest?

I have an 07 Guardian with a Ripcord right now. Yesterday while shooting the Ripcord stopped dropping upon release. So I think it is time for a new rest. I am looking at a Limb Driver or Octane Hostage Pro. I know one is a fallaway and the other isn't. I just can't decide which I want. Which one would you choose?

Any Trophy Taker rest does awesome. I personally have the pronghorn. Great rest I will never use anything else.

I currently shoot a Limb Driver. I have a second on order for my 09 Air Raid. They are simple and the flat out work. I have played with Hostage Pro's before and if I was to shoot a containment style rest, the Hostage Pro would be it. IMO, you can't go wrong here. Both are simple, no BS rests.

I planned on changing before it happened. Nothing against the rest just wanted to try something different. The shop I go to has Hostage Pros so I might get one setup and try it out.

IMHO

Limb Driver = Best dropaway rest

Octane Pro = Best full containment rest

The choice is yours depending on what style rest you are looking for.

Wow you got yourself a tough decision! lol Both are great rests, I currently shoot the Limb Driver, but if i were to go back to full containment, the Hostage Pro would be the one.

Thanks guys! I went with the Hostage Pro. Like I said it was at the shop. Setup was quick and the few shots I put through it today I like it so far.
