So like just like the old 2 prong rests if you shoot alot you wear out the tape? [:'(]
Sticky felt on the QAD rest too bud. Figured I'd tell you about it if you are still considering that rest. It's really no big deal to me, but everyone is different.

Not really. I have over a 1000 shots and the tape is still good. I suppose there may be some point I would need to replace the tape but it doesn't appear to be any time soon.

Same here...I have shot mine A LOT and my tape is still fine. Don't let that be the reason why you don't try one out. I think you'll like it.

I have a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone on my Guardian.

My new General (or another Guardian - I'm torn) will also have a Drop Zone Guide Series on it...

I am toyingwith putting a Biscuit on it for turkeys though....just to get experence with it.

I have a big problem finding a rest for my General that drops fast enough. I have a RipCord on it but still get fletching contact. I'm back to shooting feathers because of it.

I just heard from my dealer that he had some trouble with a Schaffer on a General. He said the arrow would hop off the prongs at full draw. now either he didn't get it quite right or the rollers are making some sort of difference. My Guardain has a Schaffer and it works perfectly. I'll have to call John at Schaffer and ask him if he's had any concerns with it on the General. If so, I'll be using a Drop Zone on the General when it arrives.

Hey Bowtech Staff guys maybe you can tell Bowtech to hurry up with shipments to NW PA.

GR8, I'm putting the VT Limb Driver on my General and a TT Original Pronghorn on my Marquis. I have the Pronghorn on my Allegiance and fell in love with the Limb Driver when I shot Matt's Guardian.
