Wow, wow wait a minute!
Rickjames are you going to hunt with that 360 & how do you like it?
I seriously considered trying one and look to dump the DZ next year in favor of that rest or a bodoodle if I can find one. I'm impressed to see someone with anything he wants at his disposal shooting one.
How well does it work?
BTW, great looking rigs everyone.

I have heard that if you have a single cam bow that has a lot of nock travel it can be difficult to tune the QT 360 for nock height, however I have learned that those problems can often be fixed with proper timing of the cam combined with a bit of tiller tuning. I haven't gotten to stretch my legs out any and step back to 50 yards with the rig because of the heat, but once my new string and cable gets here and it has its final tune I will and then I will really know what this rest is capable of. For hunting rigs, I am a big proponent of the K.I.S.S methodology. The less moving parts the better IMHO.....I drive 2-4 hours from home for all of my hunting so I don't like broken gear. I also beat the snot out of my stuff in the woods too.....so the simpler the better.

Gibblet & Rickjames, both of you mention the quietness of the rest. Is this both during the draw & during the shot?
I hate to high-jack, great looking bows again everyone.
Gibblet, time for one of those fancygrips like Rick's XT is wearing.
So Rob, how do you decide who gets to play?

Jim, I like your bow choices. I think Abbott bows are one of the best values going in new longbows. Simple, yet elegant and affordable. And though Stewart is know more for his longbows, it's his recurves that really shine, IMO. I test shot one a few years ago and absolutely shredded my feathers with fist sized groups on a 30 yard foam deer.
I'll use a selfbow again this year, as I've done the last 6 years. The question is, which one? Perhaps this one, which is a fairly new, compact hard hitter...
