The best rest is something that' s simple, durable, quiet, repeatable and absolutely reliable. That scratches the majority of rests that are popular these days clean off the list, at least MY list. Tops on my list is a rug rest on a recurve or longbow. Next is a simple flipper rest. For release shooting with a compound, I' ve found nothing I like better than my old faithful GKF Golden Premier.

I' ve used many over my years in archery and I must admit the NAP Quicktunes have outperformed everything else. I now use the Quick Tune 4000 and it is a great rest and well worht consideration. Simple, quick to set up and even quicker to tune.

NAP Quicktunes are quality rests.

I' ll tell you what the best rest is.......it doesn' t exist. Neither does the best bow, the best arrows, etc....

There are some really excellent rests on the market and some that are junk....which ones are which....

I really love the Bodoodle Pro 500 and Pro Lite.
