Well, my order from Cabelas came a week or so ago but this was the first opportunity I had to fool around w/ it. I installed the Silent Solution rest on my bow yesterday.
The install was a little more complicated then I anticipated but not extreme. I followed the instructions as printed then paper tuned this morning. I have to say I was somewhat apprehensive but to my surprise this was the easiest tuning job I have ever done. One adjustment to my nocking point and I was shooting bullet holes at 7 and 13 yds (can't test any further as this is all the space I have in the basement).
I used the Carbon Express camo arrows I bought this past season. They are w/o a doubt the noisiest arrow ever created. The surface is so rough there was nothing I could do to quiet my prong style rest this past season. So, two days prior to opening day I had to abandon them and build new arrows, asap.
On this rest they shot absolutely w/o sound. I am impressed!!!
I do however have some concerns that maybe Joe Archer could answer as he has used this rest for sometime. This rest violates every principal I hold dear, regarding the KISS method. It is somewhat complicated and uses a lot of parts and screws. I have a concern w/ the spring durability, as well as, the overall fragility of the entire rest under hunting conditions(ie. hoisting and lowering from trees). However, for the time being and until I can shoot a lot more arrows thru it, I would give it a thumbs up!
