Has anyone used or seen this dropaway rest?
 

I think its a good looking rest, sure has nice features. Schaffer Generation II. I don't know anything about it let alone any kind of Schaffer rest. It may get my attention this weekend if I can find a shop that carries one.

Personally, looks like too many adjustments. My experience (though limited) tells me that the more things that can move, the more that will.

it actually looks like its built like a tank to me. i haven't tried it, but i've heard great things about shaffer.

RE: Has anyone used or seen this dropaway rest?
 

Thats what I thought too gibblet. I like the adjustments, especially the internal spring adjustment feature.

I have personally never used one, however talking to people who have, they speak very highly of it.

I agree, it does seem to be built like a tank.

I like that rope adjustment feature. I hate trying to get a perfect length rope to get my dropaway to rise at the last second. I use the tab on the bowtech cable slide and trying to get it perfect length with a burnball on the end sucks.

WOW! I actually really like how that rest is built. It looks like it is engineered very well. If it had a bar across the top to make it a full containment drop away, I would give it a try. For all others who don't need full containment drop away, I would say get it. Very nice!

My pro shop highly recomends them, whenI set up my bow I really wanted one but it put me over my budget. I got a great deal on my trophy taker and it kept me under my budget. Probably 4 out of 5 guys that shoot at the local range have switched to them. I dont know if its just the hype but so far everyone likes them.

I have the schaffer rest on my 05 ultratec and really like it. You can use this rest either standard or as a drop-away. I like the way they are built to a particular riser, and once mounted, they match up nice and will not move. These rests are built like a tank as mentioned above. When I got mine, the guy I spoke to at schaffer said that the rest will be pre-tuned at the factory to your bow. When I got it on my ultratec and shot it through paper, the center shot was perfect as well as the spring tension, and with one slight nock height adjustment, I got a nice paper tear. When using as a drop-away, you want to adjust the cord length so that the rest is at full height about one to three inches before reaching full draw. In fact, I just got off the phone with schaffer because I am going to order another one for my trykon xl. The only change to the rest for 06 is that the prongs are turned up more for better arrow containment even though I never had a problem with the other design. This rest is very quiet and easy to adjust. In the end, the decision is yours, but from my experience, this rest is sweet. Good luck and good shootin".

See where the Mat1 arrow is pointing on picture? Now look just below that arrow on picture andyou will see a threaded hole. Looks like that is the back side so no hardware goes in that hole from the left side. My question is, do you think you can make a aluminum skinny long arm, use a die to match the threads pattern andthen screw itinto those threadsand make it a full containment drop away? I know the hole looks a little too low, but if you came out of the threads, went 90 degrees up and then back out over the shelf itshould work.

BHunter, does the pic look like an '05 model then? I would much rather the prongs have some curve to them toward the end.

Mildot, thats quite an idea you have, might work. According to the website this rest should fit a Bowtech. I wish someone other than QAD and Ripcord would put the locking feature on their dropaway. Gonna miss that part if I take off the QAD.

i can't find a price on it anywhere. anybody got a link to somewhere that sells them so i can look?

Cougar Mag, the pictures that are on schaffers website are with the original style prongs. I spoke to schaffer directly on the phone today andtheysaid that the new prongs have more of an upward bend to them. I never had a bit of trouble with my arrow coming off the prongs with the original ones though. I bought my rest directly through schaffer because their was no dealer that carried them close to where I live. They said the prices for a black rest are $115 and camo is $119, plus s & h . A little pricey but worth the coin in my opinion. I am going to order one for the trykon xl monday. By the way, schaffer is open 7 days a week, and they are really good at talking with you and giving advice on the rest. Hope this information helps you out. Good luck and good shootin'.

RE: Has anyone used or seen this dropaway rest?
 

It looks like I will have one coming. Let you all know what I think later.

RE: Has anyone used or seen this dropaway rest?
 

I sure hope so Cougar. After all, it is mounted on a Bowtech in the pic.;)[8D]


That does look like a very solid rest and the cord adjustment feature would be an excelent thing to have on a drop away.

Congrats Cugar Mag
It looks like we bothgot a great deal.:)hopefully the transaction goes smooth.

RE: Has anyone used or seen this drop away rest?
 

awesome looking rest the only thing I question is the prongs.I personally feel with a drop away rest( all that movement ) there should be some containment.Other than that it looks like a Cadillac along side my mze.:D
