How durable is the MZE for hunting? I have never seen one up close. Are they made of plastic, metal, or some combination of the two? Is the hook forming the rest prone to breakage if hooked on something like a branch or hunting gear?

Thanks,

Mike

Drift,

The ZE is just as durable as any rest on the market! The hook and parts are no more prone to hanging up than your sight or stabilizer on a stalk. In fact the way the hook is positioned it is pretty well protected by the overdraw shelf.

It's definitely a combo of different materials......the linkage arm , hook and turnbuckle are some sort of tough Nylon composite it seems......Hook arm is the same thing cable guards are made from (carbon).
The shelf is aluminum ( I assume).
I'm guessing that the actual hook itself would bend before breaking, and simply return to it's normal position. It's not brittle.

I'm pretty sure I could break it.....if I tried, but I don't see any "Normal" use causing any problems.It may actually prove to be MORE durable than many rests.....at least that's the way it's heading for me.

Mines been up and down a few trees this year, and had 1000's of shots wrung through it and it's still right where I put it.
