My Prestige needs a rest

Can anyone recommend a decent rest for my new Presige. I shoot target with X10'S, But dont know what to go for. My Hoyt Xtec has a Spigarreli but i'd like a change.

YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM & EXPERIENCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Check out the golden key range, well put together and easy to adjust. But check you can get a carbon spoon with it. I guess one should come with it.

I have a spig' too, nice launcher but all the screw heads wear out very quickly, they need replacing with stainless steel ones.

Golden Key Golden Premier AR-1000 gets my vote. Well made with micro adjustment in x & y. Means you can make repeatable small adjustments to knocking point height by lowering or raising the launcher.
It is not supplied with a carbon spoon, but then I have never got on with them, prefer a wire snake head. Only other recommendation should you buy one, loctite the screws which act as launcher stops or you will loose them.

I'v seen blade type launchers before, they work well.

I've used a GKF TKO with steel blade for some time now and they are very easy to tune, the Trophy Takers are good solid rests also.

I would go for the TT 2 as the blade is double bolted, and it looks easier to fine tune. Go for the .010 blade for your X10's, unless they are >290 grains. The .012 is for the heavier indoor arrows
