    No I have not, and would not. As much as I like drop away rests, the idea of relying on a magnet is more than I can deal with. Besides you have to match your helical fletch to go through the openings in the rest, or let your fletch hit. Too many unknowns.

    thats not hard to do....



    I think its an interesting idea. It has its flaws and has its up sides. However, it will end up being to expensive for some people that like contanment rest.

    I would like to try one before passing judgement. But for the guy who thought of this Idea its so simple its brilliant. my only concern is magnets loose power after a while and keeping the arrow centered. a

    On the other hand i just lookesd at the price.
    $149.00 way way over priced that rest should be no more than 49.95.

    I talked to a guy that tried one. He said it only worked on level ground. No shooting up or down so it is pretty much out there. Then he also said your draw had to be so smooth like a target bow, or the arrow would just stick to one of the magnets. His 3rd complaint on them was it took at least 3 seconds for the arrow to stop moving around inside the rest after drawing. Finally he cut all his arrows to try this rest, and now they are all too short!
    Not a winner in my book.
