    Thumbs up APA Safari Twister

    Anyone shoot one of these things? Curious to know how to attach the string to my slide?........or to my cable?.......or to my string?

    I've got a Martin Phantom. It has one cam and I am not too sure where to attach the string so that the "drop-away" works.

    Any comments or ideas.............keep it civil now!

    For those that don't know what the heck it looks like..........here is the website

    What I usually do is run the cord through the middle of my down cable then tie a knot. once adjusted so that the rest drops in the first couple inches after release i will then serve the cord into the cable so it will not move.

    PS i have never used a twister but this method has worked for every other drop away I have owned

    Just got back from West Coast Archery. Picked up a dozen arrows. Well during the visit Bill fixed up the rest just fine. Also added some speed buttons, and re-aligned my peep. Great guy - great service.

    Watch out Steve, I'm gunnin fer ya.

    Since Bill adjusted my new rest, I have noticed a marked improvement in the size of my groups, plus an increase in my fps.

    The arrow and/or the fletching does not touch the rest once I trigger my release (except, of course, for the first 3 - 4 inches of the arrow).

    The Safari Twister is a FULL containment rest - the arrow cannot fall off or out of the rest unless the nock pulls away from the string.

    Since the arrow has minimal contact during the shot, the bow is a bit more forgiving of bow hand torque that occurs just after release. You know what I am talking about.....unconciously grabbing the bow a split second before the arrow clears and thus influencing the trajectory. Minimal, to be sure, but my groups have tightened up appreciably.

    I would recommend this rest to anyone considering a containment-type fall away rest. Great for 3D and especially good for hunting.

    Not sitting in a stand all day sipping coffee and eating doughnuts, but actually hunting.

    Check out the website and see if this is the one for you.
