Ohh yeah, forgot to mention Cobra Archery has some cheaper sights that are pretty durable and tough in the field.

I think the cheapest Cobra Sidewinder with fiber optic sight pins runs around $50-60.

Ya know, all of those prong type rests look the same. My pal says the shakey hunter drop away is the best. Anyone here know anything about them? He is a good buddy, but easily swayed. He doesnt even have a shakey hunter. EJ

Well, the Bodoodle isn't a drop away style rest. It uses the same basic principle as the WB, no moving parts. The Bodoodle Zapper 300 has three prongs that hold the arrow throughout the shot, while the Zapper 400 has four prongs, the lower two are basically one prong but they are seperate prongs.

Basically, this rest cuts down on the vane wear you might experience using a Whisker Biscuit. Click on this link, it is a Image Search for Bodoodle Zapper 400 through Google. http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=Bodoodle+Z apper+400

This might help clarify what I am talking about. Basically, there are no moving parts, gives it the same appeals as the WB without the vane wear.

I see, it does look really neat and I do see where it wouldnt wear on vanes as much. Does it create any noticeable friction? It looks to me like it would create no more than a 2 prong type rest. I really appreciate your help on this Bols.

Speaking of Cobra Sidewinder sights, I have a set for sale. You interested?
