Is "Full Containment" Overrated?

"Is "Full Containment" Overrated?" No.....I love it!

X2 on this. I have a Trophy Ridge Smackdown Pro and I love that rest. I must have tried 6 others prior to that.

Nope - just nice to have and one less thing to worry about.

The first elk I drew back on came in quick and in my rush to get the bow back the arrow jumped off of the rest. I spent the next five seconds or so fiddling with my bow and attempting to get the arrow back on the rest. This was all the time that bull needed to leave without me never getting a shot. Needless to say, I became a big fan of full containment rests from that point on. I find them more helpful for those situations than for the actual stalk.

Witnessed this happen to a buddy while a big longbeard came in... Arrow bounced off rest and took him about 6 seconds to fix it... Good thing he was in a blind or that bird woulda been shegone.
