Types of Arrow Rests
- Shoot Through/Prong Arrow Rest: These arrow rests are inexpensive and easy to install and tune, making them ideal for beginning archers. However, the prong arrow rest doesn’t provide a lot of containment and the fletching of the arrow can come in contact with the arrow rest, resulting in erratic flight.
- Containment Arrow Rest: Like the prong arrow rest, the containment style is easy to install and tune. Its main advantage comes from the fact that the arrow is contained with the arrow rest during the entire shot, offering the highest amount of stability. This steadiness does come at a price however, as the friction causes a slight loss of speed and can wear the fletchings.
- Drop Away Arrow Rest: As the name suggests, drop away arrow rests literally drop away when you shoot your bow, eliminating any contact with the arrow. This obviously creates the fastest, truest flight pattern. Drop away arrow rests are difficult to tune and more expensive than other arrow rests, making them a better option for experienced archers.
