hi everyone, has anyone used one of these magnetic arrow rests found at www.air-rest.com ?
they look pretty sweet, but expensive, does anyone know if you can get them over here in oz?

No thanks to much expense and if you watch the video the arrow sticks to on side instead of just floating like it claims :shock:

I would check the threads on ArcheyTalk.com mate they convincingly gave the thumbs down to this rest for a verity of reasons, I wouldn’t waste your money.

It requires a very precise set up for your arrows.

If you set the arrows up too short the arrow will pull from the string as you draw back - If too long they don't centre correctly or come up at all.

Spend the $ elsewhere

well that settles that! no-one likes the rest.
i am in the market for a new rest, the 3 i am interested in are the wiskerbiscut deluxe, trophy ridge drop-zone and the NAP 3000 micro, i like the prong rests (NAP 3000 micro) as they are what i have been using for the past 13 years and the easy adjustment is a bonus, what about the other 2? what would be the quietest of the 3?
i'm shootin carbons with 3x 2 inch blazers.

If you are after quiet have a look at the muzzy zero effect.

A whisker biscuit will hold your arrow much better but the fall away action and nothing hitting your shelf makes the zero effect vey quiet.
