Sanders10 Joined: 05/16/2011 Location: ND	Just recently bought a Martin and transfered my old sight and rest over (biscuit and truglo sight). The sight and nock are level but my sight is maxed all the way down. I'm going to order a Spot Hogg sight and was just wandering what people are using and liking for rests. All comments are welcome I'm leaning towards a QAD or NAP apache fall away

I would try the new sight and rest before moving the peep. Nocking point should be a little higher than the rest when the bow is not drawn (1/8"). Go with the QAD.

Broadheads hit exact same spot as field points right out of the gate... a nice change for this old timer. http://youtu.be/D2uSRkuCoHs

That video shows the rest in action in slow-mo.

Meelosh Joined: 05/26/2006 Location: ND	To tell yoi the truth, it really depends on the style of hunting you ae doing. Fall away rest are certainly more accurate. However, if you do any sort of spot and stalk scenario, I would stick with that whisker buiscit.
