Are tuning features making micro-adjust rests obsolete?

I’ll likely be buying a new bow this year and am starting to map out accessories. It got me thinking and with nearly all new flagship bows having horizontal tuning features and manufacturers telling us to run arrows down the middle and tune from the cams or limbs, why pay for micro adjust rests? I know the vertical adjust is still important but clearly manufacturers will be adding these features in the future based on Hoyt’s latest release.

I admittedly will probably still buy a micro adjust rests (and tuned plenty with corse adjust rests) but wondering if anyone else had thought about this?

Fair points. Personally, I think these adjustments are all doing the same thing. Making your bow perfect down center of your riser but then moving you're cam out of center or adding lean is manipulating the tune to get it to shoot straight.

It's six or half a dozen. It's just more visually appealing, I can't see a mechanical benefit of it. The main problem is the archer usually not the bow. So we're taking to bow out of tune to match the archer essentially. How you do it I don't think is a big deal.

To your point though, I don't see a benefit in two micro tuning systems.

I group tune at long distance with a micro rest after getting a good base with the bow itself.

I would rather fine tune with the rest within reason, the new tuning systems likely do the same but I think one can be more precise with the rest and micro clicks.

Most of it is more accurate than the archer, but you can find a sweet spot with fine tuning, more options is never a bad thing so long as they are reliable!

Micro adjust everything no matter what
