Well Golden Key has done it again. The leader in Arrow Rest innovation has come up with another great Arrow Rest that is functional, durable, good shooting and a whole lot more safer then most other Arrow Rests. This Rest consists of a free rotating, nylon funnel with multiple strategic slits in the side that can be adjusted to get accurate arrow flight with vanes or feathers.

As with most Arrow Rests it can be used on right or left handed bows. I have been using Golden Key Huntmaster 2000 Arrow Rests  since they came out in the early 80s but I think they have me changing all my bows over to the Funnel Rest. Why? Well let me explain.

Putting this Rest on was a snap. Just tighten down the elongated bracket to the plunger hole with the screw provided. Using the left right adjustment move left or right until center shot is obtained. Simple. I have put on thousands of Arrow Rests in my tenure as a dealer over the last 30+ years as a dealer but this has to be the simplest I ever installed. Using Golden Keys Center Gauge  I had it on center shot in less then 2 minutes!!!!!

Now the test to shoot arrows was in order. I used feather fetched arrows first. Four arrows went through the rest. There was a little bit of feather disturbance on the arrows so I loaded an arrow and looked down the nylon funnel. The slits in the funnel were not lined up. Following written instructions I tightened down the screws in the rim of the cone and rotated the slits until the slits lined up with my feathers. Now that they lined up I un did the screws  so that the slits were held in place. The next shots went through perfectly with no disturbance between the feathers and the funnel. 

Plastic Vanes were next. As I shoot fingers I thought I would have problems. When they hit the target, they hit in the same group as the feather fletched shafts. The Vane fletched arrows  grouped an inch low and slightly to the left but all arrows were grouped together. I was happy but I wondered why.

The next step was to paper tune it. So the paper tuning machine went up  and all arrows were going through just fine and dandy. To move the group I readjusted my sight. I knew the arrows were flying straight so moving the sight, like you do when changing any Rest, was in order. This whole process from installing to tuning took less then ten minutes.  

I was extremely impressed with the FUNNEL REST. It was easy to install and took only a few minutes before I was shooting bullet holes. It was also one of the quietest Rests I've shot lately. You can not hear the arrow being drawn across the  plastic 'tongs". I shot 2213,2016s and 2114 and all worked perfectly. I canted the bow right, left and upside down and the arrow never moves.  I really think this Rest will find great favor with the bowhunter as it securely holds the arrow in place even if you happen to drop the bow. 
        
The FUNNEL REST is moderately priced at about $45.00 and should satisfy even the toughest critic.  For quality, ease of tuning and straight shooting this Rest nicely fits the bill. For accurate, worry free shooting and safety you will not find better Arrow rest.

It will stop cut fingers, as the arrow cannot fall off and since there are no springs to lose and no metal launchers to fall off Golden Key has a winner here.
