An FYI to guys using this rest with the nylon stop screw rather than the stainless one. Was shooting on Sunday afternoon and after a shot my rest arm was pointing down and there was a load of tension on the limb cord. Backed out the set screw and the bottom 1/3 of the screw was sheared off at a 45 degree angle. The sheared off piece still inside somewhere. Going to have to take it apart to get it out.

I won't be using the nylon screw anymore. If taking one into the backcountry may want to throw the steel screw in your pack for a spare, and know how to disassemble and reassemble the spring mechanism.
 
Same thing happened on mine. I just use the stainless screw now. Hamskea basically told me as much when I contacted them.
