silvercan Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I saw a magnetic arrow rest the other day where the arrow actually floated from a metal insert inside of it. I have down some digging and I think it is this www.doubletakearchery.com - has anyone shot with one of these? Does it stay accurate?

redkneck Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 That is super cool, but I didnt read how much weight this adds to the arrow. You should post this type of stuff in the bowhunting section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 that looks real good to me. (i can't spell "intriguing"...lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'd like to see high speed photography of that arrow rest during use. I've always wondered how well they dealt with Archers Paradox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Too expensive! It will cost over $120 for six arrows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 That rest hit the market a few years ago already. A marketing failure to say the least. Was supposed to be the latest and the greatest. For the gadget guy with money to spend. http://www.bowhunting.net/artman/publish/EvalAirRest.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 a good idea but too much money to be practical and sell your average bowhunter. it's thinking outside the box though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I remember when this product came to light a few years ago on here and this is what we heard so far. For starters, it won and international inventors award based on simplistic ideas. Basically, it won somewhere around $50,000 and beat out over 25,000 other inventions. The magnet used is stamped out of earth magnet which is the strongest non electrical magnets in existence. The arrow locks into place as if it's on a solid rest and is so strong, that the arrow will bend before you can push it to one side or another. I agree that whoever invented this is making a big mistake by not reducing the price to somewhere reasonable like $75 for the rest and $5 an insert. Smart people can see where it is better than almost any rest out there but the greed in trying to make an instant fortune on it prevents that from happening. I'd buy it for that amount and if it cleared fobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
