Carbon likes to wear a plastic rest pretty quick. I like the flipper style rest.

Apply to the bow and wrap the whole thing with mole skin or duct tape. It works well and will not come off the bow unless you remove it yourself.

Thanks for your input

I take the spine plate off and replace it with a piece of stick on rug rest. Simple, strong, quiet, no worry of losing the teflon off the launcher arm. If the arm ever breaks (I've yet to do it on any after thousands of shots), it takes about a minute to put a spare on...

Post by: Lefty on July 06, 2008, 06:07:00 PM: I agree with George. Hoyt Pro rest for me too. The only thing is that carbons are a little noisy on the metal arm, but that is easily fixed with a some piece of mole skin.
