Since it's inception about 10 years ago it's been the ACC's.

Withe rest? I have heard of a couple guys putting moleskin under the rest arm where it bottoms out. This might helps with the thump and noise you have with it.

I like the RipCord rest.
Easton XX-78 arrows are my favorite arrows. I tried Easton Axis arrows last year. This year I am going back to my old XX-78's.

What are your arrows fletched with , 5" sheild feathers will straightn out just about anything , espcialy by the time it gets to 45 yards .

I would tend to agree with the others in terms of the ACCs for both accuracy and build quality...at least in my experience. But then there is the price.....

As for rests, I still prefer either the GKF Golden Premier or GKF Infinity. If you are partial to drop aways then either one can be had in a drop away version.

I really like my QuickTune 4000. The way the forks are kind of bent back/upwards (depending on its position) seem to help cradle the arrow prior to it being in the full upright position. Also, it's really easy to make fine-tune adjustments.

As for the arrows - are you sure you don't just need to tune the rest a bit better? I use Gold Tip Pros with the shorty vanes and they seem to fly ok.

Trying many different rests and arrow combos over the years from the ole 2216s to Carbons to ACC's, I have the most confidence in ACC's and now my Trophy Taker fall away. This is proving to be a great combination on my Liberty 80. "the best" I have no idea, but working great, yes.

Love the QAD Ultra Rest, with GT XT Hunters. Combination shoots great (on my bow, anyhow).
