I liked the centerrest better. The teflon sleeve kept coming off the flipper rests I tried.

Depending on what type of arrow material you use.
Carbon likes to wear a plastic rest pretty quick. I like the flipper style rest.

I've recently grown very fond of the brush style rest...Very forgiving and very quiet and not to mention very durable.

I like the bear weather rest. I cut the bottom of the plate to the bottom of the finger, then trim the finger a bit thinner. 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.

Doesn't seem to be a clear winner so I guess I'll have to try them all.
Thanks for your input

I've tried about all of them and settled on the T-300. I use it on all my recurves. 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...

I second the Bear weather rest or Satellite equivalent. Right out of the package works for me, though you can trim it or use thinner tape if you want it closer to centershot.

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.
