The Perfect Arrow Rest
 
This is a serious question and any responsesare much appreciated.

If you could buy the perfect arrow rest, what features would it have? What rest out there is the best you have used? I am mainly talking about drop aways, but feel free to talk about any.

Thanks

I posted the same ? about a week ago and everyone seemed to think that the Vaportrail "Limb Driver" was a good one to go after. I haven't triedit yet becasue of the $$$ tag on it. I honestly think any rest will perform with the proper set up and tuning.

Well, I'll beat on my APA drum again. For me, the APA Twister Safari I've been using is about as good as it gets. Simple setup, accurate and full containment. Why these rests have never caught on is beyond me. I've used this rest for 3 years and have not come across a better designed hunting rest.

If I could design the perfect rest, it would basically be the same design as the Twister Safari with the addition of micro adjustability for all adjustments. This includes timing.

A drop away whisker biscut would be perfect.

I have a Limb Driver and I have to say it is the best rest i have ever owned so far! Very easy to install and tune! Yes they are a bit pricey but very worth it!:D

For me the rest would have to NOT have any cords attached to activate it. I see most droppers with cords as a cheap way to make a $15 prong rest work in the opposite direction with a $75 price tag. But then we archers are just, OH, so gullible.

I hear ya there, as a matter of fact, I know of a guy who did exactly that, bought a LEFTY prong rest, and mounted it on a righty bow in such a fashion, said it worked almost as good as the "designed" drop-aways.

How would that work?

$89.95 TYD is in line with most of the top Dropaways. Check them out at my Website www.meanvarchery.com We sell other rests but this is the one I use and recommend;)

My R and D backround makes me want to improve everything. LOL. I am just thinking I can make a rest better. The nice thing about bow accessories is thatthey are pretty simple in mechanical operation.
