General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I'm trying to piece together a new General. (I don't have the bow yet, just figuring out what I want).

I'm pretty set EXCEPT for an arrow rest. I want a fall-away of some sort.

I love my muzzy zero effect, but it's not available for this bow. (I never liked the "cord" associated with most fall-aways.)

So let's hear it what do ya like and why? Price is NO factor!

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I have heard good things about the Limb Driver.

You could try the MZE for roller guard bows that might work.

The rumor mill does have Muzzy designing a new rest for the beyond parrell bows not sure if it's true tho.

I just picked up a Bodoodle Game Dropper for my Marquis.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I really like my QAD drop away. I've had no issues. It is full capture when cocked. You can draw then let back off without the rest dropping away. At the shot,it dropsand stays dropped...no bounce back.

It uses a cord which seems to have you turned off, but I've had no issues with mine. It's been set it and forget it.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I keep hearing about the limb driver. Who makes it?

I may have to use a cord..Jim I don't see to many other options at this point!

Vapor Trail.

The Zero Effect will not work for the new Bowtechs with roller guards -- yet. There will have to be a redesign of the product to make it compatible.

For all my bows which I can't shoot my beloved ZE's on, I shoot Vapor Trail's Limbdriver. I've got it on my Diamond Marquis right now, and I have a brand new one hanging on the wall behind my workbench waiting for my General to come in any day now.

I'm thinking about giving the New Trophy Taker a trial.

I really like my Schaffer on my Guardian.

Probably a minority here...but I've got a drop zone on both my guardian and my general. Works great with both. Best of luck.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Well consider me in the minority as I have the drop zone on my GUardian as well.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

WB the only rest ill put on any of my bows

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Vaportrail Limbdriver...Great Rest

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I have the Tropy Ridge Drop Zone on mine,and also had one on my Gaurdian as well.I don't like the Rip Cord,samething as the Quad Ultra rest,the prongs or arrow holder, will hit on the riser.I've never had any problems with the Drop Zone on any bow that I have installed them on.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I have a Limbdriver and like it very much. I was going to try the NAP Quiktune Flipper but they did not have them ready for hunting season and Ihave mine on the shelf waiting for after the season. If the Flipper works like itis supposed to,it will be the rest I am using next season.

I heard the RipCord Fall-Away is good for it holds your arrow in.

A sleeper est for this bow is the Hostage by bowtech/diamond. I have one on my Gaurdian and General and I love it. Shoots bullet holes, no fuss. and easy to set-up. Justmy opinion. I have the old style on my bow but I beleive they are upgrading it, not sure but the original style works great.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

On the vapor trail...what are the Prongs made of? Do they need sleeves?? Hard to tell on the website.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

The prongs are metal but they supply some cloth tape and you just put that on the prongs.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

So like just like the old 2 prong rests if you shoot alot you wear out the tape? [:'(]

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Sticky felt on the QAD rest too bud. Figured I'd tell you about it if you are still considering that rest. It's really no big deal to me, but everyone is different.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Not really. I have over a 1000 shots and the tape is still good. I suppose there may be some point I would need to replace the tape but it doesn't appear to be any time soon.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Same here...I have shot mine A LOT and my tape is still fine. Don't let that be the reason why you don't try one out. I think you'll like it.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Another vote for the limbdriver , it will be on the bow I shoot , currently on 3 I own , super rest

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I have a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone on my Guardian.

My new General (or another Guardian - I'm torn) will also have a Drop Zone Guide Series on it...

I am toyingwith putting a Biscuit on it for turkeys though....just to get experence with it.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I have a big problem finding a rest for my General that drops fast enough. I have a RipCord on it but still get fletching contact. I'm back to shooting feathers because of it.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Im shooting perfect bullet hole's through paper with my set up.Drop Zone rest and Easton lightspeed arrows.Groups are great also,robbinhooded a arrow yesterday at 30 yards.my General is set at 61 pounds(50-60 pound model)

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

I just heard from my dealer that he had some trouble with a Schaffer on a General. He said the arrow would hop off the prongs at full draw. now either he didn't get it quite right or the rollers are making some sort of difference. My Guardain has a Schaffer and it works perfectly. I'll have to call John at Schaffer and ask him if he's had any concerns with it on the General. If so, I'll be using a Drop Zone on the General when it arrives.

Hey Bowtech Staff guys maybe you can tell Bowtech to hurry up with shipments to NW PA. ;)

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

GR8, I'm putting the VT Limb Driver on my General and a TT Original Pronghorn on my Marquis. I have the Pronghorn on my Allegiance and fell in love with the Limb Driver when I shot Matt's Guardian.

RE: General Shooters what rest?? (Guardians)
 

Full containment The Bowtech Hostage!!

Drop Away's? To me nothing compares to the Vapor Trail Limb Driver. They are on my Website;)

This is a picture of one I had dipped in HD Green on my Guardian:D
