Rated 4 out of 5 by patriot1 Arrow Rest
Good quality rest. seems to work good for now. The price is a little much. I know it doesn't need to be that much as listed. I used gift cards but would not purchase this if I had to use my own money. There is similar and less expensive rests out there and would probably sell better due to price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BowHunter04 Great Rest
I purchased this rest after another drop away couldn't fit and was a little worried. After I got it tuned it's performed flawlessly. For all those who say they are having fletching contact and saying it doesn't drop fast enough, it's just not right. That's a tuning issue. This rest is wonderful.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MRmooseman Not so great
This rest seems to be a quality build, but didn't fall away fast enough for my 72# martin pantera. I tried to slow down w/ heavier arrows and broadheads but still had fletch clearance issues using blazer vanes. I tried them w/cock vane up and down ...no deal. I switched to a trophy taker ( I have one on my Mathews) and that worked great! Might be great on slower bows but not on a fast one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DEERHUNTERTRACKER loved it
I have had one of the older models for a several years and loved it. never had any problems with it. Make sure it is dropping properly before you start shooting. The one time it didnt drop for whatever reason the arrow took it off the bow. Broke the elevation adjustment dove tail out. Still the best rest i have ever used. Woud have given 5 but it broke May just be worn out.

Just need asorted allen wrenches. Need to level it with bow. This could be a little tricky. Replacing it from an existing rest can be hard to put in the same place as the last one. But any of them would do this I imagine.A:
It's pretty easy to install. There are some good you tube videos with hints. I setup mine according to the instructions included. It takes about 15 minutes to install. If the bow is tuned well, you should be able to fine tune the rest in minimal time, much quicker than old style rests. The one additional thing I do is tie above and below the football on the bow cable to keep it from slipping. Once setup, paper tune the bow just like with any other rest and then check and see if broadheads fly the same as your field points. The point of impact should be the same for both when everything is setup right.A:
