Guess this is Bowtech's answer to Hoyt's Fuse line. www.fuelthehunt.com/main.phpThe stabs look neat at least  I wonder how strong the magnets really are on the 2 piece quiver. They warn you right away to keep the quiver away from electronics or anybody with an implanted medical device like a pacemaker.  |

The quivers look interesting, I will have to stop by the archery shop and see if they have any in stock so I can look at them. |

Hmmmm. Looks like they bought out Catawba Archery, or at least their design for the Stillshot. www.huntersfriend.com/catawba-still-shot/catawba-still-shot-rest-review.htm That rest has been around at least a couple three years. I remember it distinctly because it reminded me of the Golden Key Futura Shoot-out, which I bought, tried and hated; so I didn't like this one either.  I think you're right Doegirl, their answer for Fuse Archery. Next step...broadheads (like Fuse). |

ok now I gotta ask, if I am reading correct, the review snood posted basically says this design is better in some area and atleast equal to the wb. That said, do you guys not like rests that contain arrows? I have only used a prong rest and as you can imagine I spend a fair amount of time retaining my arrow, so I ask, should I be looking at a drop away? Would I have the same issues (arrow falling off) with a drop away?

I shot a WB for a little while. It was pretty accurate, and did what it was supposed to. Like BT said, the rest is a very personal thing. I liked the WB for vanes, BUT I like shooting feathers more. In other words, I like shooting feathers more than the WB. (Though you can shoot them through a WB, they don't last as long doing so.) I then moved to a drop away (TKO). Great rest, did what it was supposed to do, more accurate than I could make the WB. But guess what, now I'm back to the prong.  No containment at all, or arrow holder. I still get great flight from the prongs, plus, for some reason, they are much easier for me to tune. They just work. I guess I tried the fads, and just went back to what I knew most and started with years ago. Who knows, I may go back to the others again at some point. |

Found this second hand on another site, so take it for what it is worth. Said he emailed them for their price list.  |
