hamskea worth it?

[quarbles]

looking into getting a different rest. there is a lot of mixed reviews on every make and model.... it gets a little overwhelming. i think i've narrowed to a few. the hamskea has my attention due to the lack of negative reviews and incredibly well thought out design, while i'm also interested in the smackdown (although i've read many pro -and- con reviews). anyone with a versa rest have any imput on it? cost wise is the versa worth the difference, or is the smackdown just as good? like most, i'm looking for bomb proof reliability... i don't like second guessing investment and would prefer to buy once rather than twice.....
so is the hamskea worth it?

Can't help you with that one. We use QAD HD.

I have the hamskea and smackdown pro. Both are good rests but overall the hamskea is better. It's a fudge louder but beats the SDP every other way. I use both tied to my lower limb. Biggest gripe with the SDP is the elevation would not stay put. I busted 2 Allen heads torquing em down cause it would move and I would get ticked lol. I finally ended up putting some Goop in the dovetail then tightening it down and let it dry. That fixed it but of course my confidence is lost.

Like elknturkey, I have both as well and like the Versa Rest with containment a hint better!

They are both very easy to setup, tune and durable!

I currently have my Versa Rest attached to the top limb.

This is another great feature of the Versa rest, in that you have multiple options on how you want it actuated!

You just need to ensure that you know which limb clamp you will need for your bow:
Standard - Solid Limb
5/8" Split Limb
3/4" Split Limb

"Limb Clamp Size" refers to the thickness of the individual limb on a split limb bow.
For example, if it is a Hoyt Spyder bow, you will need the 5/8" clamp because the Hamskea VersaRest standard clamp will not fit between the new air shock and the cam.
