    I have seen them.Here is my 2 cents I think they are a joke, first of all the incert in your arrow is heavier.Adding 30 grains im not for that.I dont think your vanes clear the rest without touching it so it would be hard to tune your bow.Im still just sold on the drop away rest they are hard to beat .The Air rest your shaft should not tuch but what about your fletching or vanes?? When my arrow leaves my string I don’t want anything touching it or the vanes.I like that true arrow flight.

    I haven’t seen this rest in person, but agree with Tony. In concept I hate it. Adds weight to your arrow and I’m also guessing you do not have clearance with your vanes. Drop away rests all the way. Either Tropy Taker Shakey Micro Adjust or the Trophy Ridge Line up.

    Thats the one thing I wondered about, do the vanes hit the rest going through. Don’t know. I guess the weight thing, I could get over, if your shooting 125 g’s now, just go to 100g’s and it shouldn’t make any difference. I use the Trophy Ridge Guide Series drop now, I love it.
