I've been impressed with Hamskea and Ripcord lately. Bombproof so far.

 

I have both Hamskee and Ripcord on my bows. Ripcord is great because you can lock the rest upright. But my Hamskee is also great especially with tuning. I’m a fan of both rests.

 

I've had the most luck with Hamskea and VT limb drivers. I love my Hamskea but with they would make a lighter weight, slimmed down version

 

You just mentioned it, QAD for me.

 

QAD

 

I have some version of Vaportrail on my bows. Never had a failure or even a second of trouble out of them. Over the years, the only rests I’ve sent in for warranty repair was a QAD and a Ripcord.

 

There are a few good rest brands out there. I've only used QAD though, haven't felt the need to change because they've worked flawless and never had any issues with them (a few QAD HDX's , QAD Integrated MX, QAD Integrated MX2)

 

Epsilon. Nothing else on the market is built like a hamskea…TANKS.

 

do you drop your bow, bang it on things, carry your bow with the rest? why do you need a tank rest?

 

Qad’s are great but Hamskea is out of this world!

 

Hey you asked...........lol

 

Honestly, one of the best rests ever made, that release is pretty dope too. good OG stuff right there!

 

I've only ran biscuits and QADs.
QADs are more consistent that the biscuit. And I've had only issue ever, and QAD stood behind their product and took care of me.

 

Ripcord and trophy taker what i run

 

Limbdriver PXI's and GEN8Xs for me

 

I’ve ran QAD and Hamskea. My nod goes to QAD, but both have been great.

 

Epsilon V2. My favorite would have been the Ripcord Ratchet but I have to be careful where I attach the cord. The Epsilon just works.

 

Its going to be very hard for me to not put a Hamskea on every single bow I buy for the remainder of my life. I don't know how good the Epsilon 2 is, but version 1 is just incredible. I prefer the limb driven rests too because I love to tinker and you don't need a press to mess with it.

 

have used QAD for many years with no issues.

 

I have had both Hamskea and QAD. I have personally liked the Hamskea better. I will say this, I was a QAD guy for years, until I watched one fail.

Long story short, friend of mine had a nice bull that he shot 4, yes 4, arrows at. Guy is a really good shooter and none of the shots were anywhere remotely close. I can't believe the bull stuck around as long as he did, but he did. We got back to base camp and found that the rest was not dropping all the way down. It was even peeling some of his fletching's off because it was still so vertical after the release.

It was a really dry year. Come to find out, some dust had gotten into the mechanism and was causing the launcher to not drop out of the way completely. Watched him shoot all week with no issue and then it fails with a bull in bow range. That was a tough one to be a part of...

I personally have never had any issues and every QAD I have used has been flawless. I have switched to the Hamskea solely for the fact that (in my mind) as long as the limb is moving, the rest is dropping.

 

Vaportrail Pro VX or Gen 7X for standard mount, Vaportrail PXI for integrate

Easy to set up, quiet, less prone to clearance issues, light weight.

 

I have used both Hamskea and QAD on different setups, but I prefer the Hamskea slightly more.

 

Love my Vapor Trails and QAD’s. Have 2 of each

 

Anything with the name Hamskea on it!

 

Dropped the QAD years ago went back to a biscuit, I only hunt it's all I need.

 

After all the talk on here I tied an epsilon…meh, it’s loud, louder then a vaportrail for sure. Built well but heavy and loud. Every single time I’ve tried a drop away, prolly a dozen of them on hunting bows I always end up back to the greatest hunting rest of all time….a whisker biscuit.

they shoot just as accurate as a drop away and are more reliable imo. Every hunting compound only gets them, they just flat out work.

 

Another vote for Hamskea. Currently using an Epsilon and it's been fantastic.

 

QAD for me, but all of mine are at least a few years old. The HDX and MXT have treated me fine. I do know others have reported issues but none for me. The build quality of the Hamskea has always sounded apealing, and I have looked at them, but the seem complicated to me.... I'm sure that's a me problem.
