I recently purchased a hoyt banshee for my girlfriend and she is really enjoying shooting. It came with a NAP prong rest and I would like to upgrade to fallaway type. I was considering a ripcord or similar style rest with the added feature of containment. Is there anyway I can tell before hand if the rest will have sufficient clearance on this riser? Have any of you installed something similar on a bow like this? Also she is shooting 35 pounds and would this affect the timing? I have a shoot a drop zone on both of my bows with awesome success and would like to have the same performance on her bow aswell. Thanks for any help you can provide.


thanks

If the riser on your Hoyt has a centershot cutout design in it (a backwards c) then it should be able to utilize a droaway rest!. Older risers came straight down to the shelf to create a near 90 degree bend. Those old risers are not designed to use dropaway rests!

When setting up a dropaway rest, even on a low poundage bow; make sure the cord is adjusted so that the rest comes up in the last ONE to One and a half Inches of the draw cycle. Then the rest will drop quick enough to give you adequate clearance for your vanes.

Here is the best picture I could find of the riser. It has a slight offset like you are speaking of. I suppose that they dont intend these bows to have premium rests on them.

thanks for your help
