I currently have a Bear Attitude bow with a whisker basket rest. Would it be smart to change to this kind of rest instead?

I have used this rest for 2 years now. I like it a lot. My previous rest was a whisker biscuit. Yes, it is a much better rest. The whisker based rests are good for beginners and for hunting. Drop away rests are better because of the minimal contact on the arrow.

I have used both this rest and the whisker biscuit extensively and have had problems with neither one. if you have no issues with the biscuit, then changing rests isn't going to improve your shooting.

It depends on what type of shooting you are doing the quad rest hunter sometimes contacts with the fletching (where as the pro doesn't). One thing for sure you will have more accurate tighter groups and more fletchings attached to your arrow after shooting.

I my opinion the QAD is a better rest. I have used the rest for over a year now and have had great results. I bought this rest over the whisker due to the fact that it was a drop away and also held the arrow in. You are able to have the arrow raised in the fire position also. The thumb release will allow you to place the rest back down and remove the arrow. I have had several people look at my rest and decided to purchase one and they love it. A couple of them switch from the whisker without any regrets. They felt like their shoots were more accurate with the QAD. Last but not least it's Anerican made!

Yes. It does not have any resistance on the arrrow and it will not rip off fletchings like a the whisker biscuit has a habit of doing.

Judging from the Google images of samick Polaris takedown bow, it looks like you can attach this arrow rest. I can't tell if the hole in the riser is threaded. So you may need to go to the hardware store to find a bolt, nut, and washers.

I'm not sure of the Chill's size but I use a Hoyt Vector35 and was able to travel with the stabilizer and sights still on the bow. I added some extra foam protection for the limbs and used socks to help further protect the bow from possibly shifting in the case.

You would probably find it uncomfortable depending on the height of your bow and you would also reduce some of the site lines. It is a great blind, very easy to assemble for one person. In your case I'd recommend adding a small three legged seat that you could put one knee on and still pivot to get the maximum site range.

It might be small for a 14 and 17 year old. I think a bear apprentice might be better. It is a great beginer bow for older youth and young adults.

it is the qad rest, just as shown.....but beware it does not have the anti spring feature.....my hoyt had the rest bouncing back up affecting my arrow flight.....i have friends that love this rest, but on my bow i had to go with a limb driver.....now its dead on

No, that item is sold separately. You would also need string and a bow stringer. P.S. ditch the plastic arrow rest that came with it and upgrade it to a better one. Get a glove or a tab, because it is not included.

I use a Vanguard -Espod 203AP. You can use it sitting or standing. I just used it both ways on my archery antelope hunt.

You will probably want one that is heavier and larger in diameter. The heavier the hoop the easier it is to keep up, and the larger circumference makes it easier to rotate.

This is just the case. If you don 't have a bow I would strongly suggest visiting a good sporting goods store to be properly fit for a bow that will help you meet your objectives. Happy shooting!

I have a kun collapsible violin shoulder rest. It works great. The feet fold toward the center and I can store it easily in my violin case.

Yes you'll just need a different arrow rest, they one it comes with isn't going to work well.

I have a 50# long bow and it works great with it. You will be happy with the classic block

There is no arrow rest on this bow, the arrow rest on your hand.It is a traditional style of bow.

The draw length on this bow is about 28". I set the brace height at about 7 1/2". FYI - the plastic rest that comes with it is useless. Buy yourself a brush rest or go traditional and just buy the adhesive hair rests.

Great thinking. A normal male would love a bow. I bought this bow (and many others) for a youth group but I and other adults have shot and enjoyed it. The bow you found is a 20-29 lb pull. However, this Bear Firebird bow which is the same price as yours, is a 30-35 lb pull which would be even better for an adult male. Bear Archery Firebird Bow, 60-Inch Either way, I am sure he will enjoy it.

Yes, I really like this rest. It is not perfect in every situation, but it is simple, accurate and so far has worked perfectly on the bow I am currently shooting. In fact I used it last weekend to take a very nice tom.
