Default New rest suggestions

I am in the market for a new rest for my bow. I currently shoot a biscuit and it is tearing up my fletching so I' m looking to try something else out. I have a couple in mind but I was wondering what everyone else might be able to suggest for a good rest. I am shooting a Martin Jaquar Mag with Gold Tip XT arrows.

Thanks Lefty

The MZE is definalty on my list. Anyone know for sure if it would fit the Jaq Mag? The other thing is none of the archery shops in my area carry it, I guees if I decide to go with the MZE I will have to order it and install it myself.

Did you trim the back side of the bisquit flat? That will eliminate alot of the wear.Also make sure it' s square to the string.If you' re looking for a drop away the trophy taker is a solid rest.Very simple,all metal no plastic.2 big allen head screws that you can lock down tight for your adjustments.Alot of target shooters use this rest, very accurate.

Also check out the GKF Mirage. I have one on my hunting rig. It was a snap to set up and tune. It also traps the arrow very well in it' s more than adequate arrow cup.

A Trophy Taker would be a simple and dependable drop-away for that bow. Its really nice not messing up your vanes or feathers.

Good Luck!

check out a vital bow gear fallaway for the price it can' t be beat and it' ll hold you arrow while at rest you can even turn the bow upside down (not that you' ll need to ) !
