Hi, I've had my bow for about six months now and the Hoyt plastic rest (the white one, think it is the Super Pro) that the shop fit when I bought the bow kit has worn out. The hook part is starting to sag so if I'm not careful the arrow starts to slip off the rest. It got so I had to stop shooting last night rather than risk an arrow falling off just before release.
My riser (SF Forged+) came with a magnetic rest so I'm wondering if I should stick that on, or replace like with like and get another Hoyt. The guys at Aardvark recommend and fit the Hoyt for beginners' bows (presumably because of the hook) but some people at the club think they are too fragile for beginners. I was also told at the club that another thing to consider is when shooting in wind, if you have a magnetic rest and no clicker to hold the arrow in place, there's the chance the wind will blow the arrow off the rest, and therefore the hook type is better with no clicker.
At the moment I'm minded to get another Hoyt (plus spare as they're cheap as chips)
