Finally got a chance to try out the new bow and the second shot the Hydro Glide rest snapped in half. $25 bucks down the tubes. Anyone have any recommendations before I buy something new?

Caint really see why the rest would of just snapped in half unless line got tangled on it or arrow slide stop was down but if it's broke its broke. RPM victory or a quick draw would be my vote for a new rest. I've shot both, and both great rest but victory is $15 cheaper and all I use now.

I should clarify that the mounting bracket snapped in half around the hole where the shaft from the rest attaches. I dont believe I had the rest over tightened but for whatever reason it broke. I looked at the Victory rest you suggested and I like the fact it is aluminum and not plastic. Do you use the version with or without the gates?
Thanks Rick

Yes. They have awesome customer service! Like carpivore said if you get a Victory check to make sure that the nylon arrow pad is tight, if not pull it out and put a drop of super glue on it. We have had 4-5 victory and only had issues with one being loose when new.

^^^^ This. You may have had the slide stop down which will break a rest.. The hydro glide is a huge pile
Of crap to start with so hard saying.. QD makes an awesome rest.. Easy to tune and fully enclosed.

QD is the way to go man. Spend the 45 bucks. You get the best rest on the market and it'll last a lifetime

Nope , is OMP which is October Mountain Products and pushed or endorsed by Sam Woods and IMO most if not all of their stuff is JUNK, we field tested that rest when came out and gave them bad feedback and review and know others that did the same and the design never changed as far as I know of..

Quick draw is where it's at. If you break one of these it's not because you were fishing with it

Thanks for all the info guys. The Hydo Glide would probably be ok if it was made of aluminum and when I picked it up in the store I really thought that is was aluminum. It wasn't until I opened the package that I realized it was plastic so I went with it. Now I wish I would have spent a few more bucks.
