I am still shooting my original Pro V that I got six years ago. I put it on my new bow, Prime Inline 3. I saw no reason to not keep using it. It has been abused and held up. The Prime Inline bows actually have a tie off point on the top limb specifically for limb driven rests. It can be moved to the bottom limb if preferred. These rests tune easy. I bare shafted out to 30 and quit messing with it. I much prefer the limb driven style rests over cable.
My son has the original on his 2013 pse dna sp and we just ordered the gen7x for his new bow. I asked what he wanted to run on the new bow he said gotta go with the VT
Awesome video, very informative, straightforward, and to the point. Just purchased mine today and was lucky to find it on sale for under $200. Thanks for the great video and review.
@@timothyhall963 I really like the rest a lot. There is nothing to mess with and it just seems to work. If you look at my video "Gaming Indiana's Game" that I published in mid September, that doe was killed while using this rest. And I like the rest so much that I have a second one that I am going to put on my turkey hunting bow for next spring.
On my Ritual it only works on the TOP limb. The LTR gets in the way of it on the bottom limb. I have an old Z28 for turkey hunting and it works on either limb on that bow.
@@mattdunican7701 I can say that as a guy who tried multiple QAD's over the years and shot a Whisker Biscuit on and off for more than 15 years, this Vapor Trail rest is the nicest rest that I have shot. I liked it so much I got a second one for my turkey hunting bow. It is simple, quiet, reliable, and accurate.
I was watching a video from average Jake's archery about the biscuit Asked him a question he said you'd be best to awnser Ive been thanking of fletching feathers... How does the biscuit effect the arrow with feathers? Does it matter if it's straight offset or helic? Pros and cons of shooting feathers through a biscuit Thank you for any imput
I only shoot feathers. I have shot feathers almost exclusively for 20+ years. But I have played with vanes from time to time through that period. I also have shot biscuits on all of my bows for 15+ years. I had also played around with different drop away rests like QAD's for example. But I always went back to the feather/biscuit combo. In my experience biscuits are harder on vanes than they are feathers. Vanes get wavy and can tear eventually. The vanes are forced through the bristles, which has friction, and friction causes heat. That is one of the primary reasons they become wavy. Feathers tend to collapse down when they go through the biscuit. The result is that the top edge of the feather will get a bit roughed up, but the body of the feather generally stays nice for a long time. Feathers are very forgiving. While we tend to obsess about the looks of our gear, feathers can fly great even with they look beat up and horrible. Think about a bird, their feathers get beat up on a daily basis, yet birds still fly. Now a bird also has to replace feathers and eventually you will have to replace them on your arrows as well. Personally, I generally re-fletch my feathers once a year, but honestly, it could go much longer. If you do not shoot a lot, you might get years out a set of feathers. If you shoot 200 arrows a day, every day, you might have to re-fletch twice a year. It is all relative. But I will always hang my hat on the fact that feathers hold up to a biscuit rest much better than vanes do, and that feathers are a more forgiving fletching in terms of arrow flight. I am brutal on my gear. I will shoot a deer, take the blood soaked fletchings and scrub it with dawn dish soap and water, and throw it back in my quiver and let it dry. I don't worry about them getting wet and I don't worry about they way that they look. They just fly every time for me.
@@NewDayOutdoors Sorry for all the questions sir But I do have another one You shoot feathers full length or do you trim them to a certain size and shape
They make brand specific mounts for this rest, so if the standard doesn’t work with the bottom limb attachment maybe the Elite mount would. I noticed that the website says the Prime mount and other brand specific mounts don’t have micro elevation adjustment, only micro windage.
Yea, they came out with an Elite specific mount after this video was done. They told me at the time that they had one in the works, but due to the crazy summer that was 2020, they didn't know how soon it would be available.
Not at all. I have been shooting this rest for over three months now and I really love it. My accuracy has improved. I love the reliability and simplicity when compared to cable driven rests that I have tried in the past. I like the rest so much that I have a second one that will be on my turkey hunting bow for next spring.

Great review and details. thx for posting this up. Great tip about the rest being brand specific.
Good bless you too brother
Excellent Fella, I like your style !! Enjoy, as I will when I get mine, >> Thank You
I just ordered one
I think you will be happy with it. I have two of them and one year later, I still really like them.
Where did you find the Grey? I've been looking for it and all I can find is black. Thanks for a well thought out thurough video.
Local shop put in a call for me. I also have one in all black.
Hey pal
Do you think that specific bow with the ltr is the only one where you would need to tie to upper limb?
I have Mathews and pses
I honestly do not know. I do know that Vapor Trail has a mount specific to Mathews bows and a couple others.
I hope you do a hunting follow up with this rest
I can do that for sure. I killed a doe in mid September with the bow and rest in this video. So far I really like the rest a lot.
@@NewDayOutdoors fantastic i was looking for a new drop away rest running whisker biscuit now but like what I see with this particular rest.

Any issues clearing fletchings? I shoot normal blazers but I'm looking to get one tomorrow..
Zero issues at all. Get one, you will like it.
Counter clockwise?
It has an arrow to tell you the direction.
Copy. You referenced counter clockwise but wrapped it clockwise it looked like to me. Just clarifying.
@@daves6x6 The problem with working on the fly with no script. But there is an arrow to tell you what way to wrap it.
When you said it worked with your ritual we’re you referring to it working with the bottom limb
On my Ritual it only works on the TOP limb. The LTR gets in the way of it on the bottom limb. I have an old Z28 for turkey hunting and it works on either limb on that bow.
I just bought a ritual 35 and trying to decide what rest I want

It’s between this and the hamskea hunter
@@mattdunican7701 both are excellent options.

@@NewDayOutdoors
Thank you for replying
That's good to hear
Did you find If it matered R/L feather, straight, offset, helic fletched made a defrence
I only have a right helical jig, so that is all that I have tried over all of these years.
@@NewDayOutdoors
Sorry for all the questions sir
But I do have another one

@@christsideurbanstreetminis2183 I shoot just standard 4" feathers that you can buy in most any archery store.

@@NewDayOutdoors i have a hamskea hybrid hunter microadjust i love
@@softsmoken Those are excellent rests as well. Not a thing wrong with that choice.
