Putting this rest on was a snap. Just tighten down the elongated bracket to the plunger hole with the screw provided. Using the left right adjustment move left or right until center shot is obtained. I have put on thousands of arrow rests in my tenure, as a dealer, over the last 30+ years, but this has to be the simplest I ever installed. Using Golden Keys Center Gauge, I had it on center-shot in less then two minutes!

Now the test to shoot arrows was in order. I shot feather-fetched arrows first.. There was a little bit of feather disturbance on the arrows so I loaded an arrow and looked down the nylon funnel and noticed the slits in the funnel were not lined up.  Following the written instructions, I made a few adjustments until the slits of the cone lined up with my feathers.  Following shots were perfect with no disturbance between the feathers and the funnel. 

Plastic vanes were next.  Since I shoot fingers, I thought I would have problems. When they hit the target, they hit in the same group as the feather-fletched shafts. The vane-fletched arrows grouped an inch low and slightly to the left but all arrows were grouped together. I was happy, but wondered why there was a difference.

The next step was to paper tune the rest. All arrows were passing through just fine and dandy. To move the arrow groups, I adjusted my sight accordingly. I knew the arrows were flying straight so moving the sight, like you do when changing any rest, was in order. This whole process from installing to tuning took less then ten minutes.  

I was extremely impressed with the Funnel Rest. It was easy to install and took only a few minutes before I was shooting bullet holes. It was also one of the quietest rests I've shot. You cannot hear the arrow being drawn across the plastic 'tongs". I shot 2213, 2016 and 2114 arrows and all worked perfectly. I canted the bow right, left and upside down and the arrow never moves.  I really think this rest will find great favor with the bow  hunter as it securely holds the arrow in place even if you happen to drop the bow. 
        
The Funnel Rest is moderately priced at about $45.00 and should satisfy even the toughest critic.  For quality, ease of tuning and straight shooting this rest nicely fits the bill. For accurate, worry free shooting and safety, you will not find better arrow rest. Go to www.goldenkeyarchery.com for all their newest line of archery accessories and great standards that they have sold for years. This is truly a quality company.

This rest will be around for years. Nothing to wear out and nothing to complain about that I can see or hear. I wish that they could make it a little smaller but if it has to be this size, well so be it.   It will stop cut fingers, as the arrow cannot fall off and since there are no springs to lose and no metal launchers to fall off Golden Key has a winner here.
