Had mine for a year and a half and no problems. Great rest and it is easy to set-up.

I pretty much echo what most here have said. I heard a lot of bad things about it from people online before I bought mine but I have had the Trapdoor for a year and a half now without a single problem. I love it. I have mine on a Mathews Q2 and have never had any fletching contact problems.
I just do not care for any of the drop away rests that require you to attach a cord to your cable. I also don't like the drop aways that only rise to firing position when you draw your bow. I tried several and was less than pleased with the part they sent along with it that had to be glued onto my riser shelf to hold my arrow while at rest. I had trouble getting some to stay in place and some were so shallow that they did not hold your arrow very securely.
The Trapdoor does have to be recocked after each shot but thats no big deal. Once cocked it stays up until you shoot and drops cleanly and quickly each time. The deep V of the rest holds the arrow securely enough that I can literally turn my bow side ways without the arrow sliding off the rest. No exposed cords, springs or linkages to snag on anything. If mine quit tomorrow I'd buy another the same day.

Interesting. How about cold weather hunting? Any chance of it getting water in the mechanism and then freezing? I find that simple things work best. That is why I just went to a whisker bisquit after deliberating for some time.

Clint, I'll try to answer your question with a question. When you get water, snow, etc in your bisquit and it freezes how well does it work?
