Yeah seen it. Don't know anyone who has used it. From what I've heard you use a special insert (I think it weighs just a wee bit more) and that insert is what is attracted to the magnets in the rest. But most people are shooting so fast now, that they aren't too concerned with the weight issue.
The only thing I think of that might be detramental is the fletchings hitting the rest, but I suppose if its out on the market, that they probably have that "bug" worked out already... I don't know... I am still skeptical. .
My arrows are shooting good already :arrow

I was going to invest in this rest because I thought it seemed like a progression of the typical rests out there.

It adds about 30 grains to your typical insert.

But....somebody brought this up on ArcheryTalk....you have to "thread" your arrow through the rest like threading a needle. I never really thought about that until it was pointed out....I was thinking how well it holds,noise and other things. I don't want to be fumbling trying to "thread" my arrow if I need to make a follow up shot! :arrow

I think I will pass on this one. :>/

They need to do what carolina archery did with the wisker bisket and make a quick loading version.
