Cougar Mag, definitely get rid of the clamp...I thought I had mentioned that before, but may have forgotten..that thing is junk..just tie-in.

I've tried quite a few drop-aways this year, and I really like the QAD. Just a neat rest with full containment and very quiet. I've got it on my X-Tec and it's performed flawlessly. It doesn't have a ton of adjustment though and on some bows like the new BowTechs it may or may not give you enough C-shot.

The Trophy Taker Shakey is also great..super simple & bulletproof, and works well but is a tad noisy..ya gotta fleece/moleskin the heck out of it.

For the money the TKO is hard to beat as it retails for about 50 bucks. Simple to adjust, fairly solid, and pretty quiet. Doesn't fit well on some risers without buying GKF's adpater/extension plate.

I've never tried the MZE (Don't like slide driven rests), but it has alot of fans. Same with the DZ...gets high remarks by most who use them, but I have some personal hangups w/ TR products and the way the cable is attached to the rest.

GMARC I think the ripcord is pretty much the same as the Ultra rest but the ultra rest will stay locked up if you draw and then let down.

I just got a NAP QT 4000 and I love it. I was deciding between it and the Shakey Hunter and decided I liked the way the QT4k cradled the arrow better from beginning to end and how it already had silencing material on it instead of bare metal. Very simple to install and set up, too. Works fantastic, IMO.
