Hi Steven, I don't know if you read these but here goes. I love your channel and as someone who had never shot a bow until last Friday I watched dozens of your reviews before buying my first bow. I ended up with the PSE Drive 3B due to your review of it, and I love it! I also bought the Infitec Crux Blade Rest which you rated highly for a budget rest. What you don't tell people is that blade rests are probably not appropriate for most beginners. Yes 95% of target archers do use blade rests, but as an aspiring target archer I was incredibly frustrated by my arrow dropping off the rest 3 times out of 4. The additional let downs were a physical burden on me as a novice, and I just could not get on with the Infitec Crux Blade Rest. I switched to a QAD Hunter Ultra (drop away rest) and I'm so happy with it. I can now ignore the rest and concentrate on my form and learning to use a compound bow. I will go back to blade rests in the future, but I don't believe they are suitable for most first time archers. Just thought this was worth mentioning. Looking forward to all your future videos.
Blade rests you need to draw back smooth, so if you wind down the bow. Could be arrow too. A wider blade. Most Blade rests are for the 166 arrow. Drive is a lovely bow. Thanks
I just bought this arrow rest, practicing bow shooting for like 3 months with PSE Stinger Extreme and i had to swap my drop away from the kit for something else because drop away from the kit was god awful. Too slow to drop and the drop is not regulated, and a bit too short so fletch will contact the rest. At first it was quite hard for me to draw the bow but now i could do it very easy. With that drop away. Once i mounted blade rest i found out it's WAY harder to draw my bow now without arrow coming off of it. And drawing bow smooth is actually much harder, so i'm still getting used to it. But this upgrade is big, all my problems were solved with a single part and arrows go off perfectly smooth now.
I use this arrow rest for 3years and it is amazing (mine is from avalon and it is called Tec X maxx, but it is the same product). I payed 40 € for this arrow rest and the blades are realy cheap (4€ for one blade)
Surprising that its taken this long for a company to make a detachable extension arm. That square cut out was definitely a bold move, I think they look a little bit too much "inspiration" from the ProBlade, the two hole TT style blade would have been just fine.
Dont't Brite Sight, Spot Hog, CBE make a detachable arm to the rest? and there is one or two other brand sthat escape my mind who do make extensions or over draws.
@@ethanstart8372 No to my knowledge those companies don't make them... but I just remembered Hamskea make an overdraw for their line of rests but it doesn't attach like this one does.
And here we go... After 8 months or so i see some wear on my blade and would like to have an exact same spare. And i can't find any. Plenty of 2 hole universal, none for square hole...
Shooting it for half a year. Great rest itself but now my primary blade has some wear on it already, and i simply can't find spare blades because this one is not standart. Good rest but bad supoport of the product. i think it's THE only downside of it.
Chinese stuff is cheap but at the end you going to be so disappointed and you will buy original gear...... So it will be even more expensive then just buy original one time.. And that's it....... Its looks good but its crap totally crap I try so many times from Bows to release to sights at the end its all crap topoint as well..... Just buy original and save yourself a lot of money...... Only thing I still buy from China are arrow shafts 3k waves are OK and I'm shooting in the forest lost and brake many....
LOL a good chunk of your original equipment is manufactured in Asia and branded to whatever company is paying its the same as bikes and computers / tv's etc . If you are careful what you buy get a bargain ! i have been shooting a blade rest for over a year a so called cheep crap rest with no issues a lot of the time it is the incomitance of the user .
A guy at the club.. He has a full no name setup. 35inch axle Chinese ebay bow, no name rest, no name sight and release. The only thing he has that has a name is Easton Arrow shafts. He's been shooting the setup for 6 years and keeps winning trophies
That's what I thought too... so I bought a Spot Hogg Premier coz Steven here recommended it... and then the spring tension screw stripped after 6 months. Not impressed.
