Drop Away Rest. QAD vs. HAMSKEA

[CO-AJ]

I'm in this same decision. Like Hamskea because of the robust construction and of course they are from CO, but spoke to a pro shop today who said he did not like the cord tied to his limb due to vibration. I was thinking there would be more vibration and cord slap (stress) if it were tied to strings, but I am new to all of this. I am 90% sold on the Hamskea Trinity but thought I would que the professionals in this forum.

Pulled the trigger on the Hamskea Trinity yesterday. 2 updates, saw one shop where they run the cord under a bracket that is screwed onto the limb near the axle. Not sure what that bracket is called, but it is held on by 2 small allen head screws. Also, found that Hamskea makes a bracket with a loop in it, that I believe replaces the small bracket mentioned above, and you can run the cord through that loop.

I have used QAD on last three bows, with no problems whatsoever. Local archery shop really pushing Hamskea, so I put the new epsilon on my RX7, and time will tell. Initial impressions are great, as mentioned the rest is very well built was easy to adjust/tune. It is going to take a while to get used to not having a fully contained arrow, especially when in the field. Overall the operation is very clean, and has also forced me to be more deliberate and smooth with my draw.

No bracket is needed. Just stick the limb pad on and make a slip knot around it. I go up a few inches and then make a perfection loop, and this stays on my bow always. I then tie my cord to that loop and never have to worry about the terminal connection to the limb.

I wouldn't want a bracket because of the slight but of mass it adds to the limb and the possibility of screws coming loose.
