IDK, but something about it seems over complicated to me. IMO there are plenty of other high quality proven rests out there.

 

The high quality proven rests out there right now all started just like this at one time or another, brand new. Not saying it will make it to a proven rest, but I won't discount it for being new. I like the way it holds the arrow. Don't know that I would leave my Pro V for it though.

 

I have the XV rest (as do a lot of my friends) and we all love it (of course we are local to Schaffer and he is located in Burnsville, MN). The nice thing about them is the way it holds the arrow / true containment, and it takes away any fletching clearance issues. The only complaint I have heard is people are worried about the exposed tracks and if stuff can get in there, like small twigs or freezing rain, etc..but no one has every experienced issues, just assumptions. Plus the owner has had some pretty impressive hunts with it in bad climates and had zero issues.

 

I have the XV rest and I love it, no problems. I this point I would buy another one for sure

 

I am probably going to put one on the Triax I ordered last week. I have heard nothing but good things about it and reading above helps solidify my choice. I will admit being from MN myself I am partial to local companies. Back in 2002-2003, I shot league at Schaffer archery when I lived down that way and it was a nice well run shop with great people.

 

I have one on my 2013 brute x after the pro shop guy I had restring my bow was raving about it.....I wouldn't put anything else on there now. Full containment without fletching contact during the shot....doesn't get much better IMO.

 

I just got one about a month ago and am waiting on my Stealth to arrive so I can give it a try. I know John and he puts out great products. I have a good friend who lives right by his shop, and he recommends his products as well. Really good design and after having my Ripcord freeze up last year elk hunting, I'm going to try a few other rests to find one that I won't have issues with in those situations. John said there is nothing in the rest for water to stand, pool and freeze, so the rest should not freeze up like some others might. I'm hoping he is right and will test it myself once we get some good freezing temps locally.

 

I did not like the amount of force put on the cable.

 

I did not notice any more force than any other cable driving rest, so if that is a concern, it seems you would be limited to only limb driven rests.

 

Just checked out the video on this. Pretty sweet!
Thinking of a new test after season is over this year. Right now I have the Mathews drop away on my Halon and there are a few things I haven’t liked about it; bumping the drop down on accident or arrow coming out of containment when walking with bow.
Will have to keep this on the radar.

I had one on my halon 32, preferred it to the hamskea micro hunter I have on my carbon air.

It is Mathews specific so I'd be happy to sell it to anyone with a Mathews.

 

It’s the only arrow rest I’ve used that wasn’t a whisker biscuit, but I love mine.

 

I now use limb driven rests but I’ve owned almost every high end cable and limb driven rest. I like the design but for my preference I did not like the amount of force put on the cable and it was timed I my draw board.

 

I wish most rest manufacturer companies would offer their rest in limb driven and cable driven...I wonder how much different the design and engineering would be?

 

They could definitely make a limb driven. I like the design and if it was limb driven I’d give it another try.

 

This rest looks very intriguing........
