I was looking at these rests also. The one thing I was unsure of is the clearance. What If you put them on an older Oneida like the H500 with no riser cutout. Can you get center shot? Or is the rest so wide that it puts it out past center and no way to get it tighter. I have run into this with other rests. We have some Black Widows we shoot also and have a difficult time getting rests in tight enough to the riser.

This a H250.It will fit but you have to mount it using the forward hole in the mounting bracket rather than the long slotted one.Centershot can be achieved,just not crazy about the way it mounts.Her's a few pics.

I got it here where I live in Ca. It is a Black Bear. We did not get to weigh it. it was to big to drag out. We had to cape it and bone out the meat. When we were dressing it out, we had to cut hand holds in the fat and both of us grab on to roll it over. It was estimated between 500-600. It was 12 1/2 years old. F&G pulled a tooth, so I got back all the info on it. It took two of us just to drag the hide and head out. I'll never know what it booked, which really sucks, but oh well. I have had a lot of people look at it and none have seen one bigger around here. The head was massive. The taxidermist had to get a Grizzly form as they do not make Black Bear forms that big.

Does it look like it would fit in an old style whisker bisquit? I know there are alot of these old rest out there...

Is that bracket for that Hydroglide rest plastic?

Thanks for the pics. I see what you mean about not crazy about the mount. You will run into the same problem I had with the Wave being all Plastic. Putting it back that far, it will be easy to bump and get knocked out of place. They need to make the arm longer and Machined with a lock screw like other rests. That way it will not move up and down if bumped. I know they make the plastic to save money, but if it is not sturdy enough, it needs to be made different. Even though the rest itself is plastic, just by putting a machined mount arm on it would have made it ten times better. Looks like I will stick with the Machined and sturdy Quick Draw.

Hey GarGod. That H250 looks like it needs a new home at my house.

In my opinion a plastic arrow rest has no place on a bowfishing bow! Just spend a few bucks more and get a Fannman rest from Gargod. A fannman rest is pretty much indestructable being all aluminum!

I agree and shoot a fanman on my Osprey. Until he makes one for my backup AMS bow I might use one of these. I'll just take the aluminum riser mount off an old bisquit, if it fits, and replace the plastic one on the astro glide...

Man you guys are lucky being able to shoot carp where you live. the closest place we can shoot is 5 hours away.
Hey got any pics of the Fannman rest and price.

 

[ELVIS]

aint wastin no time!! i hear ya...

 

[finman]

The arrow cradle part of the rest is similar to custom rests that Fannman makes...I have one of his and it's slick.

We can shoot them in Texas ...it differs from state to state check your local laws...never believe anything you read on the internet

... are you trying to insinuate that if a woman tells you her measurements are 36-24-36 but will only post a picture of her face while looking up on the internet that it may not be true?

 

[WBG444]

Hey Sheriff Brady....what you got in that drink my man?

Couple of problems here. Plastic parts where there shouldn't be. It mounts too far back, remember how well those old overdraw rests shot? Little torque on the bow really throws the arrow off. The best location to mount a rest is to have it directly above where your hand contacts the riser. That is the most forgiving setup. The grove in it is too small. Where will the mud and stuff go? What if you put the line under the arrow? If your going to copy someone else's work and least get it right.
