I ordered the QAD MX2 for my RVX+ 34. From everything I researched it has better clearance and fit. The launcher blade arm is moveable and allows for that much more tuning capability. Hamskea makes a great rest and I’ve used them for years with no complaints. But, I didn’t see any point in having to buy an additional mounting bracket just to mount their rest. If I was going with a hamskea I’d just throw a trinity rest on there and call it a day.

Why would you need to get an additional mounting bracket for the Hamskea? The universal bracket works just fine on the RVX/RVX+. If you're already ordering a rest, then you could have ordered the Prime branded one, and have the mount that is designed specifically for the RVX riser.

Hamskea, there is nothing better

I disagree with your disagree, if you need a mount for the integrated rail, you contact Hamskea.

Again as Mossy Back stated, are you going to contribute or just Troll around giving nothing of value?

This goes back to when the black series came out and we had to cut a dampner off our VT7 rests to clear...

I was told by the dealer that I’d need the COR bracket for the hamskea rest. Again, Hamskea is a great rest, but the QAD lined up better in my opinion and didn’t need any extra part to mount to the bow. And after looking into and contacting hamskea directly I wasn’t a fan of that.

Your dealer was wrong. I currently have an original Epsilon with the universal bracket attached to my Revex 6, and a Prime specific Epsilon on my Revex 4. The Prime bows do not use the COR mounting system at all. Originally the Revex bows were designed to have that option, but that changed just prior to the release of those bows.

Are you also inferring that the rep at Hamskea was wrong too?
Again, Hamskea is a great rest. I decided to go a different direction and run a QAD. People get to choose whatever rest they want to run. This post started out as asking to what integrate rest options folks are using. No one is bashing Hamskea either. As I said before, Hamskea makes a great rest, I didn’t like the options for their rest on this particular setup.

Yes, the Hamskea person is wrong. As I said, I have Epsilons on all of my bows. My Nexus has one with the universal bracket, the Inline and Revex 4 use the Prime specific bracket, and then my Revex 6 uses the universal bracket. The RVX/RVX+ have the dovetail "integrate" cut into the riser but can still use both the universal or the Prime specific. The Form, on the other hand can't use the Prime specific, but can still use the universal. None of the Prime bows are drilled for the COR mount.

I think that what may be confusing you is that ALL Epsilon rests are labelled as COR, because the COR system allows interchanging of the mounting bracket. You can use the same actual rest with the Mathews bracket, the Prime bracket, the universal bracket, or the COR bracket. The COR bracket is only used on bows that are drilled and tapped to accept it, of which there are actually very few, and Prime is not one of them. The Prime and Mathews brackets are designed to mount flush to the curves of those risers. The universal bracket will work with every bow that can mount a standard rest, including the Primes and Mathews.

Yep. I turned the damper er sideways on my Black 1 so my Pro V would fit. I just cut the dampener off my SR6. Didn't make any difference in noise/vibe.

To be frank, I really don’t care. You like Hamskea, great, run it. As I’ve stated now for the 3rd or 4th time and counting, they’re a great rest. I ran them on my nexus 4 and 6, no complaints whatsoever in any way shape or form. I’m not confused about anything as I’ve done my research, I’m aware that there’s two COR brackets, one that mounts to the Berger hole and one that screws on to the riser. I was told I’d need the Berger hole option by the dealer and by hamskea to run a hamskea rest on the RVX I ordered. I’m not confused, the dealer wasn’t wrong and that was confirmed by hamskea. It’s a personal preference as to what integrate rest a person chooses to run or not run and go with another great option like hamskea. I’ll be running the QAD integrate mx2 because that’s what fits for me as far as a western hunting setup. I also used the Trinity on my nexus 4 out west and worked great. New bow, new options and choices.

That's a pretty big rant when I didn't question that you wanted a QAD. My response was to the false claim that you needed a "different" bracket to put an Epsilon, or any Hamskea, on an RVX/RVX+. Unless you already own an Epsilon with a Mathews or COR specific mount, then ordering one with the universal bracket would work. Or, if you already have one with the universal bracket it would mount great to those bows. That's my point. You also wouldn't need a different bracket to mount any Hamskea to the RVX/RVX+. I had a Primer that was on my Revex 6, but is now on my wife's Logic.

What false claim? I shared what I was told by a dealer and then confirmed with the rest manufacturer. I believe you jumped to a conclusion about what hamskea bracket I was referring to. Perhaps I should have said specifically that I was told that I would need the COR Berger hole option to attach to the epsilon or Everest I had asked about as far as hamskea options for rest go.

Can confirm, gen 8 integrate fits.

That's the universal bracket, the standard one that fits all bows. That's not a "different" bracket. There are three options through Hamskea, the universal that fits all bows and uses the berger hole (the one you were told you needed), the Mathews specific (which certainly won't work on a Prime), and COR specific that mounts to the very few bows that are drilled and tapped on the back of the riser (of which Prime is not one). But, the Prime specific would also work. Those aren't ordered through Hamskea, but through a Prime dealer, unlike the Mathews specific which can only be ordered through Hamskea. Any Prime dealer should know this.

Again, all Epsilons and Everests are COR rests. That designates that they can all use those mounting options by simply swapping the mount with whichever one you need. Meaning, if you have a Mathews and then purchase a Hoyt or a Prime, all you need to do is purchase the mounting bracket and swap the actual rest over to it. No need to buy the entire thing.

Which RIPCORD integrate are you guys using? Thx

I'm running the limb driven Ripord on my RVX32. I like it. Going to eventually swap out the G8ix for it as well on my RVX34

 

[JMiner]

I’m running the Ratchet limb driven on my Form now. Literally JUST swapped it over from a VT ProV to play around. Set it at 7/8 center shot and it could be me, probably is, but I had to move my sight over to the left a bit to get it back on target.

Let me know if you’re interested in letting go of the G8. I’d be a player, I like playing with this stuff lol.

 

[j.d.m.]

Hamskea doesn't make anything that fits the integrate dovetail. The COR bracket doesn't fit, unless you are willing to do some hacking at it.

Does Prime drill and tap the 2 holes in the back of the riser for the Hamskea integrate riser mount? Or are you forced to use the cor universal bracket?
