RE: Levitating arrow rest
You know when something like this comes along you feel like shooting yourself in the foot for not thinking of it first.[:@]
Full containment and no contact with the arrow what so ever. No cords, no linkage, no moving parts, nothing there to fail at all. Dang that is a friggin awesome idea. Duuuuuh!

RE: Levitating arrow rest
I seen this too. One question that immediately came to mind was, does the arrow stay perfectly still, or does it move it around while at full draw? I would think it would kinda float around, but who knows.
Another question though, did a bomb go off when he shot in the video or what? [:-]

RE: Levitating arrow rest
Eeeewww, that video was annoying- kinda creepy.
That gadget would only work with perfectly level nock travel IMHO.
No arrow guidence after the broadhead leaves the rest area??
Not on my infinity cammed bow[8D].

I know absolutely nobody will beleive me but I thought of this about 2 years ago when I first started using drop aways but of course never had the motivation or money to go anywhere with it.

RE: Levitating arrow rest
Reading the fine print, you have to have special magnetic inserts for the thing to work and, apparently, they've only got 'em for aluminum arrows. Seems like having a rest only for aluminum in this day and age with the carbon fixation would be a deal killer.
Not to mention, for the inserts to be magnetic, they'd have to contain a good bit of iron or steel. That'd add a good bit of weight to the arrow, also a deal killer for the speed freak contingent.
Did anybody but me notice how beat up the inside of that rest in the video was? There's obviously been a LOT of contact going on inside that booger!
