Which Rest Do You Prefer?
Ok after bouncing back and forth between rest Im trying to figure out which would be better to get I have finally decided between the QAD Hunter model and the Trophy Ridge Revolution. I have read good and bad on both. Now I know that the QAD HD is the best but I dont have that much money to spend on a rest. I liked the concept of the Revolution how it spins out of the way of the arrow which eliminates the chance of there being bounce back. I have read that some people have had problems though with the timing on it. But I have also read that some have had problems with the timing on the QAD Hunter. I know that these rest will both work with FOBs which I am planning on shooting once I get some new arrows. So what are yours guys opinions on these two rest. Which do you prefer or would you get?

Ok between the Revolution and the QAD I think I will get the QAD. I think the Revolution will be a great rest but I thihnk I will wait and let it be "broken in" some by other people till Trophy Ridge gets all the kinks(if any) worked out with it.
The one other rest I was thinking about was the Apache. The Apache and the QAD were the original 2 I was trying to decide between. Everything I have read on both these rest are loved by those that shoot them so Im sure I will like which ever I get. But Im just a little stumped at which to get. Im leaning more towards the QAD because it has the ability to **** the arrow and it stays ****ed after slow let down. Where as the Apache doesnt. Im going to be doing more spot and stock than sitting in a blind or tree stand. So what do you guys think?

I have used the Apache and think it is a great rest. The QAD sounds like it would better fit your style of hunting though.

Man chosing a rest is hard, I wish I had three bows so I could get all three rest 
. I think what Ill do though is since everyone seems to say that the QAD HD is the best choice out of the QAD's, I will get the Apache. I know from what Ive read that this is a great rest and quiet. I would really love the option of the rest staying up when I let down but the cage around the Apache I think will do the job of holding the arrow when Im stalking. Then after some time has gone by and the Revolution has been out longer I think I will get it. But that wont be for a while.
Sound like a good idea?
