I am lookin at replacing the hostage rest on my Bowtech with a good drop away. I was looking at the QAD drop away at on target for $134. Any better options for quality or price?

Ive shot the QAD, Ripcord, and Limbdrivers. My current preference is the limbdriver pro-v.

QAD Ultra Rest HD is the best on the market.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

Cmorsch the limb driver seems like it Wouldn't be too practical for spot And stalk type hunting. What are your thoughts?

I havent had a issue with the pro-v on spot and stalk hunts. The origional one I dont think would work to well. But as long as you dont turn the bow upside down your arrow will not fall out of the pro-v.

Cmorsch the limb driver seems like it Wouldn't be too practical for spot And stalk type hunting. What are your thoughts? I have the pro v limb driver and I spot and stalked all over southwestern co for elk last year and didn't have an issue. If you have a dual cam bow I highly recommend limb driver... Both the orginal and pro v are great rests

I use the limbdriver pro-v cause of the speed of my bow, I feel that the more control you have over the arrow the better. I also do not like to have to tie the rest into the cables, as this adds to your holding weight and I think takes away from the speed of the bow. And like BOBO said they are great on dual cam bows.

I put the Trophy Ridge Revolution on my new bow. Works great so far.
 You can't fix stupid but you can numb it with a 2x4

My hunting bows I like Trophy Taker Shaker but I recently bought an alpine whisperflite match grade drop away for my 3D bow and so far seems to be a great little drop away for under $50.00

I would not put a cheap quality anything on a bow. You do not have to spend a ton of money to get a good product.

I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

I guess my wording made it sound as an either or choice. What I meant to inquire is who feels that a high quality rest will positively effect an archer's performance more so than a high quality sight? Not that either part should Be low quality.

I went with a QAD HD rest and copper John single pin sight. Shooting it yesterday, I am so far pleased with the set up as an upgrade tonthe standard rest and sight on a bowtech assassin package.
