Anyone used these magnetic rests? As noble as the idea seems, I'm cautious of spitting out the money to try it (a hundred and something odd dollars is a lot to blow on just a rest).

I guess it would be like anything else, once it's set up, it would be fine, but my problem with the whole idea is any movement would move the arrow, unless the magnets carry and incredibly strong force, and if that's the case, the arrow would lose any energy it's gaining from no rest contact to that of breaking the force of the magnetic field.

It seems a drop-away is still the best way to go, but this just looks neat and I've been wondering if anyone even uses them, and if so, how they work. Thanks.

Not me thank you! First, you have to use THEIR inserts.....the alminum inserts all makers use won't work. The inserts they use are also heavy....and expensive. Neat idea though.

Yea mobow, they do look neat for sure. I had the understanding about using their inserts, especially since aluminum isn't magnetic.

Definately just looks like a big gimic not worth the money. IMO
