Trophy Ridge Drop Slide
Rest
By Trevon Stoltzfus
Trophy Ridge has come to the market in 2010 with their most serious commitment to vertical drop-away rests ever with the Drop Slide. The Drop Slide has a stainless steel re-circulating ball-bearing slide that is not only super fast but also super quiet. Trophy Ridge even went so far as to leave one outside for a year’s worth of rain, sun, dirt and dust. It was as quick, smooth and quiet after one year as it was the day they put it out there. The secret is the re-circulating track of ball bearings, not to mention their rubber dampeners, which translates to no metal-to-metal contact to the launcher arm.

Octane’s Hostage Pro
Rest
By Trevon Stoltzfus
Octane’s Hostage Pro is another exciting total-containment rest that allows for the appropriate amount of brush tension for all arrow sizes. Fletch damage and noise, as well as speed loss, are eliminated. Arrow fletchings pass freely through the Hostage Pro without vane contact during the launch to deliver enhanced accuracy. Along with a large capture area for use with large arrows and extended-height vanes without any fletch contact, the Hostage Pro increases the life of the arrow, enhances accuracy and drastically decreases noise. The opening at the top of the rest allows for easy arrow insertion, and the Hostage Pro features target quality tuning for vertical and horizontal center shot adjustment. The Hostage Pro can be tuned as accurately as any target rest, allowing for perfect arrow flight.
