My 5 Best Archery Rests picks.
New York -(Ammoland.com)- Arrow rests, everyone has their own preference.
Some people I know love drop-away archery rests, others like fully enclosed stationary archery rest. One friend of mine still hunts with the classic fork prongs.
Each archery rests has its benefit. Keeping all those caveats in mind, here are my top five recommendable “Best Archery Rests”.
Quality Archery Designs Ultra-Rest HDX Archery Rests :
The Quality Archery Designs Ultra-Rest HDX is a simple, well-machined drop away archery rests which features a curved containment bar, unlike the older model I’ve shot. The small thumbwheel provides a simple way to secure the launcher quietly. Even when aiming at steep angles, the arrow stays on the felt covered launcher for consistency down range.
And don’t worry about the archery rests bouncing back, the Lock Down Technology which locks the launcher in the drop-away position provides total arrow clearance.
Downrange accuracy with the Ultra rest is fantastic and helped me improve my confidence for long western shots. Smooth and simple and can take a beating in the mountains.
