TRUGLOStorm Ultra-Lightweight Quiet Capture-Style Easy-to-Install Archery Black Arrow Rest - Fits Left-Hand & Right-Hand Bows - Great for Target Shooting, 3D & Hunting

The arrow rest arrived on time and took about 5 minutes to install on my Diamond Edge SB1. It has both horizontal and vertical adjustments that make setting up center shot quick and easy. Setting up a rough center shot is important. Several other reviewers have complained their rest failed or their arrows were damaged when using the rest. Setting up center shot is critically important when installing any rest, or damage to the rest or arrows will result. Also using arrows with the appropriate "spine" for the draw length and poundage of the bow is important for the same reason. An arrow with a weak spine will bend too much when fired and may strike the rest as it leaves the bow. I suspect the other reviewers did not do a center shot adjustment before shooting arrows through their bow or were using inappropriate arrows.I took my bow to the range today and performed a "walk back tuning", aka "French tuning" and after that was completed I was consistently getting groups of less than 1 inch at 20 yards and 6 inches at 60 yards. I also dusted the fletches on my arrows with talc to see if they left any marks on the rest. They didn't.What I really like about his rest is the ease of set up, and the drop in feature of the rest. The arrows are fully captured by the upper brushes and the arrows will not fall out even if the bow is shaken. The gaps between the brushes and the plastic bottom rest allow the fletches to pass through the rest without contacting anything at all. This is an excellent alternative to the Whisker Biscuit.Note to beginning archers considering this rest: It is important that you rotate the arrow nock so that the odd colored fletch points straight up. This allows the fletches to pass through the rest without contacting any part of the rest. This is mentioned in the paperwork that came with the arrow rest.Several other archers commented they've been thinking of buying the same rest and after seeing mine and how well it performs I suspect I'll soon be seeing more bows with this rest on them.

Bow: Martin Krypton 55lbs @ 27"Arrows: Gold Tip Hunter XT 125gr point 50gr insert cut to 28.75"Reason I bought this is my whisker biscuit is causing some of my fletchess to lift off the arrows. Yes I know I can put a spot of fletching adhesive on leading edge but decided that could be a cheap fix while I decide on which fall away rest I'm going to use.The Good: Price is reasonable $30 as of now. No contact with my fletchings and was easy to install. Lite weight no moving parts.The not so good: Lack of replacement brushes, the instructions said to adjust the brushes so the do not touch the arrow so hopefully I won't need them, only time will tell. Second is this rest must be installed square to arrow. I had some erratic arrow flight and heavy wear on the insert the arrow sits on after 20 to 30 shots. I used a square to insure that the arrow was level but the top of the rest was canted 3_5 degrees away fom me. Shot through paper and had 2-3" nock high tear adjusted the rest as square to the arrow as possible and got the tear to .25-.5" nock high which is close enough for me and the wear seems to lessen.Overall at this time (100-130 arrows through the rest) I'm very pleased with this rest. I plan to shoot this rest for at least a couple of months at which time I'll re-review this product.

This is a good arrow rest when new. However, after several hundred shoots the brushes wear down and it will be difficult to keep the arrow in place. So far, I have not been able to find a place that sells replacement brushes. Keep that in mind when considering this particular product.

Mine works great.. Key is to FOLLOW the directions and orient the cock feather up..

Great rest for the money. Great for hunting or just target fun. I have it installed on my Vortex Hunter at 50 lbs. It installs fairly easily, however to get it lined up just right takes some finesse. Also, It says full contact but tells you the two side brushes shouldn't touch the arrow. In my target shooting it get very good groups. If the two side brushes touch the arrow it will touch and mark the arrow veins.

Brushes will keep arrows aligned but won't contain arrows in position and brushes difficult to adjust. Had metric and SAE allen screws. Nice for other settings for alignment.

Wanted to give it a few weeks of actual use before rendering an opinion. This arrow rest (also coupled with the TruGlo Storm 5-pin Sight) is mated onto my son's Genesis Pro. It should be noted that I elected to have a professional install the arrow rest (and the 5-pin Sight), as I wanted to ensure everything was square/level. For its price-point, it is well constructed, and it is more than appropriate for where my son is in his training.My son's world-ranked coach told him/us in advance that "there will be a learning curve utilizing this new system," that being this arrow rest and the 5-pin sight. Athena's assessment was spot on! After about 100 shots, we finally noticed more consistency. Was told, "a peep sight will also help with his consistency."As it stands, I recommend this arrow rest for student/recreational use.

Let me start by saying that I normally love Truglo products. I have two sets of their pistol sights, two of their scopes and a shotgun sight. But this rest is no good. I'm so disappointed in the quality of the plastic brushes, they wear out with very little contacThe brushes break with very little fletching contact, but what's worse is that the spring launchers only last about 20- 25 arrows before they break. I've literally used up all but one of my spring launchers in the first 100 arrows.

New to archery. I installed this on a Genesis PRO bow (RH). The LH/RH mounting is solid. Both brackets are aluminum. The threaded holes can tolerate 'firm' tightening, but you could strip them... so, be careful! (you're not putting wheels on a car here). All mounting hardware is included (5/16"x3/4"xNF/24 cap screw is what holds it to the riser). The actual rest/brush holder/circle is made of a plastic/resin. It is solid. The brushes can be adjusted in/out, and should 'just' touch the arrow shaft. Once setup, it will hold an arrow, even turning the whole bow upside-down (although I wouldn't trust it for serious bush-whacking. I think a Whisker Biscuit is best for that kind of movement). I have shot close to 200 arrows so far and it works perfectly. You can see wear on the bottom 'shoe', but i'm sure it has plenty of life left... and there are 4 more also included. (I recall reviews complaining of heavy wear on or breaking this shoe. However, the only way I could see that happening is if they did not setup this rest properly, or else the nock sticks past the shaft and is hitting the shoe on the way by?) There is some setup required to get this rest installed properly, and it has plenty of adjustment to make that happen. Just be sure to square it to the string/riser/nocked arrow and it will soon become invisible to you. Just drop an arrow in the top slot, nock it, draw, fire....WARNING !!!You *must* ensure that your nocks are setup so that the fletches will pass through the top-center (between the two brushes) and to two bottom angled openings (between a brush and the plastic rest). Typically, the single-color fletching is straight up, to pass through the top-center (see photo). If you plan to use this rest, be wary of any 'cheap' arrow offerings. I understand many of these 'cheap' arrows come with the nocks setup so that the single-color fletching is sideways, trying to keep fletches away from the shelf/riser. Be Warned! if you shoot one of these 'wrong' arrows through this rest, each fletching will hit and it will be ugly. Do your research and be sure that the nocks can be adjusted with any arrows you may want to buy..

This rest fit nicely and has been working well. It’s fairly well made. I would recommend to anyone looking for a captured rest that can’t use a whisker biscuit.

Awesome product.Once installed and leveled properly, nock turned to where it was needed to be thos rest is awesome, my grouping was arrow side by side or 1 above the other touching at 10 and 20 yards.Item was installed on my Infinity Diamond Edge 320 using 40 pound pull and 100 grain field tips into the average normal paper targets and also a life size deer paper target.The wisker biscuit that came with my bow caused drag and twist causing arrows to fly all over as in 3 to 6 inches apart or at times 10 inches. In the beginning it was ok (wisker biscuit) hitting as i was with this new rest, but over 300 shots it did not hold up.New one i have shot around 25 to 28 shots and works awesome, drag free.No issues once you set it up right.I highly recommend this arrow rest.... of you have the wisker biscuit definately buy this rest.I did have a professional install the rest, set it all up for me.

I am shooting a drive x 27draw length 55 max draw weight. Arrows easton power flight @388 grains and it goes 260 ft/second. 3ft/sec faster than regular W/B. The rest is good, light, and reliable, don't have a problem with my fletching clearance. Just need to make sure that the fletching is aligned properly and the rest tuned.

If you want an arrow rest with less drag or contact with your arrows but are not sure about getting a drop-away, this is a great compromise. It's pretty much an improved biscuit that is adjustable to your arrow diameter. I haven't tested it with a chrono/radar but my arrows feel slighly faster.
