New rest?
I have been shooting my WB and I love it. It is a great rest. However, I want to shoot my arrows with the quick spin vanes. Without tearing things up. But I like the enclosed arrow design... So I think I have a new rest narrowed down to two choices.
#1- Ripcord
#2-QAD Ultra-rest..
Do any of you guys shoot these rests? And are you happy with them. You input is always appreciated!!

RE: New rest?
I find it hard to believe no one shoots one of these rests...
Maybe there is something here I don't know about. Any input on a quality drop away rest. With a enclosed arrow design??
Thanks again.

RE: New rest?
You gotta remember that there are a bunch of people out hunting already that are usually here answering questions. During this time of year it can get pretty slow around here. Just be patient and you will get information.
I shoot the ultra. After a few years with the NAP QT2000 with absolutely no problems at all I wanted to try a full containment fall away rest and I chose the QAD ultra in camo.
I put it on my alleginace and initially got some minor fletching contact. All that was needed to be done was to increase the spring tension a little bit so the arms fell faster. After this little tweak it has performed flawlessly.
It can be shot just like a conventional drop away with out cocking it every time during practice sessions but cocks in the up position for hunting purposes.
So far I have shot it about 300 times and it hasn't failed to fall away yet.
My only complaint is that the horrizontal (containment) bar is plastic rather than aluminum or steel.

RE: New rest?
Well I also like the way some of the drop away rests seem to work.. However, I love the containment system. I think I am going to give the Ripcord a try...

I switched from the trophy taker to the Vital Bow Gear Ultimate 2005. I liked the TT but the arrow can fall off while holding the bow. I do not like to keep my finger on teh arrow for more than 200 hours each season. The Ultimate holds the arrow tight with two arms and they let go at full draw. In addition, it is a fall away rest and I have been shooting solid with it ever since. Not a good rest for Popup 3d though.
