Setting up a new to me Mach 1 for the 2026 fall hunting backcountry season - elk (primary), bear and mule deer.
Looking at rest options. Outside of a WB early on, I've exclusively been using drop away rests for the last several years - Trophy Taker, Hamskea Primer, Trinity & Everest or Vapor Trail 7x. Prefer simple, reliable and lightweight.
Currently being considered:
- Vapor Trail 7x
- Hamskea Primer
- Redline Guru/AAE Prophecy (not much experience with the cable driven rests - increased arrow capture is appealing over the drop away, but not something I've ever had an issue with in the field)
Your thoughts/feedback? Thanks.
