Arrow rests
My Golden Key Premier rest has seen better days, and I am thinking of changing my rest. I shoot 2315 x7s, and also alot thinner arrows for outdoors. I would prefer one that it is easy to setup, and solid in use. I don't have a very high budget £70 max.

Any suggestions welcome

The Golden Key TKO rest was superb as were all the Golden Key products but now they're gone, unless you can find any outlets still selling them. Spig magnetico, very good and easy to set up for around £45. Trophy Taker springy for around £35. Quicktune start at around £30

Golden Key TKO, Golden Key Target Pro or Trophy Taker Spring Steel. Use them with Blade, easy to use.

I'll second the Trophey Taker- I use the Spring Steel I Micro.

Bowsports have them on their website at about £40, you need to know your arrow weight to select the blade thickness. Narrow blades for skinny outdoor carbons, wide blade for indoor chunky linecutters.

The TT is very easy to set up, nothing to go wrong.

I replaced my GK Platinum Premier with the TT, very pleased with the result, especially as I've heard the GK is going under so I was concerned at long-term reliability of supply for spare launchers etc for them.

I think Im right in saying Golen Key is now Spot Hog. Same gear just new name. The golden key/Spot Hog's have the greatest and easiest adjustment. I had the premier and its bigger brother the Infinte. The infinite was an instant adjustment unit and did not requre locking screws much like the sureloc sights. If you can find one they are the best rest money can buy.

Got to agree that the TT is the bees knees...

Another vote for the TT. I was surprised to find that I can shoot my ACE's, Navs and 2216 over-long Gamegetters from the same 0.10 blade without any problems.

Ive just splashed out on a Trophy Taker 2 with .010 Dave Cousins blade. I chose the non micro adjust version, because I dont think it is that important. I also ordered a spare blade.
