The three-spring style design holds the arrow so it cannot fall off and the versatility of the rest offers multiple angles to accommodate different arrow shafts. I had the fortunate opportunity to try one of these rests and, in my opinion, this rest should be in every hunter's arsenal of gear that mounts to their bow. 

The design is superior to any other design I have seen thus far. The bolt that attaches to the riser holds the arm snug and secure to the bow. The arm that is at a right angle to the mounting arm, slides to the right and left for easy center-shot tuning. 

The system that holds the arrow is unlike any other I have ever seen on any other rest. The metal "interior" is shaped like a pyramid shape with one corner cut out to allow arrow insertion. Three holes are drilled, one on each side, for the arrow rest springs. The bottom two spring can be micro-adjusted to the diameter of the arrow shaft you are using. The top spring can be left out if you wish to use the rest like a two-prong style rest.

On the out side of the springs there are hex heads that allow you to adjust the springs — in or out — to obtain the desired gap These three springs are tipped off with Teflon tips so no noise is produced when drawing the arrow through. 

Absolutely silent and easy to adjust, but the unique thing is the angle of the springs and Teflon tips! You can insert the arrow shaft with almost no pressure, but the arrow will not fall out because of the angle of the screws and the Teflon tips! Guaranteed! I held the bow upside down with the arrow nocked on the string and the arrow in the rest and shook the bow ... the arrow will not fall out ... period! 

Another feature, this is the one that impressed me the most, is the metal pyramid can be moved in a variety of directions to fit your choice of inserting the arrow — from the top, from the left side or from the right side. I shoot left handed and this rest was a snap to install the arrow — a lot of engineering know-how went into this rest. 

The only thing I found was that you had to adjust right or left to get center shot and paper tune it to get maximum arrow flight but this was easy to do with a release — finger shooters was a little harder. 

The test

I tried shooting carbon arrows and with a simple adjustment of the springs, it shot great. With aluminum arrows I got a left tear. After a few simple adjustments of the rest I got the arrows shooting adequately with fingers. 

The simple-to-read instruction manual will answer all your questions. Shooting a release, tuning was a breeze. The only down side of this was shooting the rest in any position the cock vane or feather had to be pointed down ward. But that is not a problem with most of the new carbon or aluminum arrows. 

This rest averages $40 - $50 and is worth every cent. It works as stated and with ease of adjustment. 

The only problem I had was that the arrow shooting fingers took a little longer to tune- in. But within a half an hour of shooting, I was shooting fine. So this rest will work great ... finger shooters will take just a little longer, but I will tell you to put one on your bow and you will be amazed! 

No torn feathers or vanes. No contact with any fletching and with ease of loading that surpasses almost any rest out there without the worry of your arrow falling off the rest. 

So go to your local Pro shop and put a small dent in your wallet for a great rest that will put accurate holes in the game you pursue!
