hi I'm Jordan Brashears with Eastman's Bow Hunting Journal and today we're
gonna talk about the AXT Titanium Recon fall away rest it's a nice full
containment sturdy design has aluminum housing with a carbon cap so that
dampens the noise and it's the only rest on the market that has 100% titanium
launcher just for durability but it's still lightweight the rest can be
installed simply by just mounting it to your riser then it comes with an
optional football clamp so you can do it at home or in the field if you have your
pro shop do it or we have a press you can serve it in that is what we've done
here is for a little bit more permanent application so in function this rest is
not going to pick up a draw you actually have to depress the plunger lock it in
that gives you full containment and then when you draw back your bow and let it
down the launcher arm stays up and that allows you to keep minimal movement and
hopefully minimal noise in the situation we got to let down and draw back again
on an animal if you do need to let down when you're not gonna shoot you just
depress the button here it's the flat spot on the on the wheel just push up
just a micro of an inch drops the wheel pull the arrow back out during the shot
it's just the release of the string that drops it this is a pretty nice function
look at from the hashmark standpoint we have adjustability from fifty to eighty
percent travel contact on the arrows the bottom
mark represents approximately 50 percent travel contact roughly sixty is seventy
percent an approximately 80 percent travel contact at the top mark which is
gonna allow the launcher arms stay up longer and therefore stabilize the arrow
sooner and give you a flatter trajectory higher speed and a little better energy
for those of you are concerned about your bow being too fast and having
contact we have it set up here on an RPM 360 it's 29 inches to draw 76 pounds
it's shooting 305 feet per second with a 400 green arrow 412 green arrow and
we're actually able to set this bow up on the longest travel setting which is
the third mark and still have no contact and shooting bullets we set this bow up
pulled off the other fall away arrest installed this one and actually
increased my distance on my sight to where I'm able to get out an extra 15
yards so it shows you that the stability from losing the tip drop is actually
keeping my arrow flat longer and giving me better trajectory at distance the
rest was relatively easy to install you can see I served it in here put it on my
press and one thing to keep in mind when you're reading through the instructions
that specifies this but this rubberized coating is for dampening noise it's not
for shooting off of so you still want to put moleskin on there and that's gonna
allow the arrow to travel smooth across there to give it a little bit of a
dampening and it's gonna make sure that you don't eat through this rubber
because it's a real soft rubber and that carbon will just cut right through it
two or three hundred shots down the road and you're gonna wonder what happened so
make sure you use that supply with the rest I just put a camel one on here cuz
I liked it but that's a must not forget part of this application other than that
it set up quick it tuned super fast and I sighted it in this morning just a matter
of minutes I'm excited to go give it a little bit more field testing and
hopefully put an animal on the ground with it
