Just like it says...
Do you use it and do you like it?
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

If I was going to use a full capture rest, I would use the Hostage Pro. It still has the wiskers that hold the arrow just not as many. Also when the wiskers ware out you can replace them.
It is not a bad rest but I still would rather use a drop-a-way.

I put one on my girlfriends bow. Just because she has never shot a bow till just recently. As soon as I am comfortable with her shooting a drop away, it will be gone and a drop away will be put on. It's better than a whisker biskit since there is no vane contact with the whiskers, but it still will not tune like a drop away, plus you are still forced to shoot your [censored] vane up and it could interfere with your cables on some bows. I know we had a slight issue with it on her bow. If you are that worried about an arrow falling off the rest get the trophy taker top load full capture and be done with it.

My dad has one on his and it seems to be fine for practice but for me the bristles make too much noise on the draw. I've got a QAD ultra drop away with moleskin on it and it is perfect for me and doesnt make any noise.

If it tunes like all the other trophy takers I have dealt with it should be a great rest. I shot trophy taker s for a long time and they were great rests.

I have a octane hostage pro on my kodiak titan and i love it. I had a whisker biskit on but it kept tearing vanes off. Problem solved with the hostage pro because the brushes don't have contact with the vanes.
