Another critical concern when using a drop-away arrow rest is getting the timing of the drop right. You don't want the rest to fall too quickly, before the arrow has an established flight pattern, or else you'll end up with an arrow that falls to the ground or that crash lands before reaching its target. A decade or two ago, drop-away rests were 1 very new, and 2 not popular.
They were difficult to assemble, difficult to use, and fell apart right when you needed them to work. A containment arrow rest, sometimes called a capture rest, encircles the shaft of the arrow with thick and sometimes thin bristles, so that the arrow is held in place until you release the bow string and fire the arrow.
For that reason, containment rests are usually ideal for beginning archers or for younger people who are getting into archery. Because there's no need to worry that the arrow will fall out of place, a newbie archer can focus on developing their form and on shooting with greater accuracy. In fact, you'll find that a lot of compound bows come with whisker biscuits a type of containment rest pre-installed. There's another reason containment rests are great, though, and that's because For target archers, who aim at a stationary target from level ground, that's not really a big deal, but if you're a bowhunter or a field archer and you'll be shooting at targets from above and below and through thickets and brush, have an arrow rest that will keep your arrow in place—and launch that arrow reliably, no matter how contorted you are—is a big deal.
Nothing's perfect, though, and containment rests do have some issues. The sides of a containment rest can come into contact with the fletching the feathers on an arrow, and that can change the velocity of the arrow.
They're also not great for arrows that have offset or helical fletchings, because the material of the containment rest will come into contact with the offset or helical fletchings, and can alter their course. If you're hunting with straight-fletched arrows, though, they're usually a solid bet. The shoot-through arrow rest might be the simplest variety of arrow rest, and once upon a time, it was the most popular type of arrow rest you could find. A shoot-through rest typically has two prongs that hold the arrow in place, and they can be adjusted based on the width of the arrow.
The arrow sits in the space between the two prongs, which tilt forward and down when you release the shot. Since the prongs tend to be spring-loaded, they automatically move back into position after you take the shot. The rests get their name because you need to position the arrow in them so that the cock vane is pointed down. Positioning the arrow that way means that the cock vane moves through the two prongs.
If you want your arrow to fly true, you need to pay close attention to how you position it. That features makes it a great rest for target archery, but a lousy one for bowhunting. As we mentioned above, what you shoot plays a role in determining which type of arrow rest is best for you. If you're a hunter, you'll most likely want a different type of arrow rest compared to someone who shoots targets. For bowhunting, you will most likely want to use a drop-away arrow rest or a capture rest.
When you're target shooting, you typically hold your bow straight out in front of you at all times. To do all that, you need an arrow rest that's going to hold onto your arrow even at the sharpest of angles. You can't have the arrow tumbling down when you go to take a shot directly into the water or at a downward angle from a treestand.
For that reason, drop-aways and captures rests area usually the preferred rests and capture rests are usually a lot quieter than drop-aways, which have a lot of moving parts that can rattle together when they touch. If you're the type of archer who primarily shoots for fun or for competition, rather than to get your next meal, you have different concerns when it comes to choosing an arrow rest. Often, target archers get to shoot in conditions that are a lot cushier than the conditions your typical hunter faces.
Instead, your main concerns are shooting arrows consistently, having the arrows have little, if any contact with the rest, and being able to adjust the arrow rest as you see fit.
For many target archers, shoot-through arrow rests are the preferred style. You can easily adjust the prongs of the arrow rest to fit the diameter of your arrow, and because the prongs fall forward as you take the shot, the arrow has very little actual contact with the rest. Find what works, and work it. Bowhunters tend to use one or the other, and have very strong feelings when it comes to which is the right type of rest for hunting. So which is better? Drop-away rests or whisker biscuits?
Drop-away Rests: Pros. For some archers, any degree of arrow disturbance is unacceptable. Drop-away Rests: Cons. Containment Rests: Pros. Containments Rests: Cons. But, those are just our thoughts! Alright—that about wraps it up for our best drop-away rest post! Hunters are shooting from less than perfect positions as we shoot at game.
A fall away rest moves away from the arrow as the bow is fired, helping us with torque problems. Hunters really need to try to use good shooting form as we hunt. Not all rests that move out of the way are the same. There are two kinds of rests , a fall away rest and a drop away rest. The difference is that the fall away rest simply falls away when you shoot and the drop away rest is moved out of the way. The problem with a fall away rest is that the rest may not move out of the way when shooting from different positions.
An example of this would be shooting down hill or out of a tree. That is the reason drop away rests came to be. With other rests the arrow lies on the bow shelf as you wait to fire. The problem with this is that the arrow is not being held by anything and it can be bumped to the side of the bow or moved into a position where the arrow will not be picked up by the rest when it is time to fire.
The Ultra rest comes with mole skin to cover the parts of the rest that the arrow comes in contact with. This will limit the chance that the arrow could make a noise if the arrow should get bumped. There are a few things you should know. When setting up this rest I had to put my knock point much higher than I had to with other rests I have used in the past. The rest needs to be released when the bow is fired.
This is done by a lead that is attached to the down pulling cable. If this is not setup right the rest will not fall away when fired. The arrow fletching will hit the rest when it is fired. I was able to set up the rest and center shot the rest in about 30 minutes. If you have never set up a rest I would have the people at your local pro shop help you install this rest. Setting up the rest is not that hard. You just need a little background to do it.
One trick that I learned is to put lipstick on the fletching to see if they are hitting the fingers of the rest. You will have great accuracy for hunting.
I was easily able to put five arrows in a five inch circle at 50 yards.
