Anyone know what Sid suggests?

I've tried most and the GUX is the winner for light arrows. AAE for heavier. Don't like the Spig.

No problem. I am gapping when shooting this riser. Arrow flight is good and it doesn't rattle on the shot. I have used this rest for stringwalking in the past as well. On my 25" tempest, I am using a Gabriel bidrop rest since I stringwalk with this rig. Can't go wrong with either choice. ZT is about half the price of a Gabriel if I am not mistaken. Give both a try if you can and see which one you prefer.

JohnK, I looked at that Shibuya and don't like the glue on idea. I haven't shot anything but a rug and strike plate for year, but that looks like something that could go wrong?

The GUX doesn't look like it's carried by Lancaster??? And I can't figure what it costs at the site I found it. May leave the Spig ZT. Any thing to look out for with the ZT, I happen to have one here for another riser.

I've used the Shibuya Ultima on about 8 Oly risers and have had zero issues with the tape. As a matter of fact you better get it on straight the first time as there is no lifting it for a second try.
The AAE Champion II is another good stick on and built a little beefier.
The Hoyt super rest adorns the risers of many Olympic athletes and it's as simple a stick on as one can get, yet the pros wouldn't trust a world championship or gold medal to something prone to failure. The K.I.S.S. Principal at work.

I'm strictly a hunter. Target rain and hunting rain are two different things in my mind. To me a wrap around just seems more durable and I need that. And the main reason I want that is an arrow holder.

Soooo, my plan is to tune with a rest that is suggested here and when I'm done take down the dimensions and then put on a Dan Decker rest. My reasoning is that Jinks seemed to tune pretty easy and Joe's set up looks like a hunting set up.

Any flaws in my plan?

I've had two ZT rests fail during a shoot. They are also loud.
