Amazing rest, been running it for over a year now with zero issues or complaints.

You can also tie off to your bottom yoke instead of going to the limb, works great!

Have one since it came out on my Mathew’s 33, have shot over 10,000 arrows threw it and have had no problems. Had it professionally put on and bow tuned as well. Highly recommend it

Been running this rest for almost a year with no issues other than I need more time to send arrows down range.

Rather than the ball on the cord, you can use a Prusik knot or a Blakes Hitch. That way there is no need for an allen wrench to adjust in the field. Ive had the rest for several months and nothing but good things to say about it. That said the QAD's Ive been using for 10+ years are great too.

Yeah I use the prusex knot to. If the flipper rest isn't all the way down just pull the string tight again.

He has talked about the prusik before. My bet is he finds it 1" inconsistent at 60 yards or something so he doesn't use it. Or he just doesn't wanna pull it tight every once in a while with how much he shoots.

Have both the QAD and Epsilon. Both are equal performers in many respects. But the QAD is a better design for hunting though.

@@sinepari9160in 11 years I never had a qad stick not once. That’s strange to me.

I'm late to this video but have to say that you'd probably be better off running the cord to the top limb to avoid clearance issues with a quiver when the cord is limp. Mine's set up that way since last summer and works perfectly with zero issues or adjustments since. I used Hamskea's little $20 bracket to tie to and run the rubber spring thing right up close to it. It hangs straight down with gravity instead of flopping over like it does when tied to the bottom limb.

I always enjoy your setup videos. Lots of detail and tips.

Dont forget about your sticker in the instructions. Table worthy sticker? Yes! for sure!! My favorite arrow rest company. Its all I run.. hands down!

It is the only rest I will use. I have the hamskea epsilon made for mathews on my V3X and I have the hamskea primer on my bowtech REVOLT. Awesome they never fail. I have seen qads stuck in the up Wright position. And not work.

I put this rest on my TRX 34 and love it so far! I'm running the QAD on my Phase 4.

Great rest I found that it’s more difficult to adjust than the Trinity but overall much slimmer.

I run mine to the top limb, it keeps the cable completely out of the way. I also use the hamskea bracket to tie the string to the limb. I called hamskea to see if it would work on the phase 4, they said it would not but it bolted up just fine for me and timed out really well.

Been running it for over a year and love it!

love that rest. great product from hamskea

I have the Epsilon on my Phase 4 - 29 and LOVE it!!

I was able to get a epsilon in the pro shop at Lancaster Archery when I bought my V3X 33. I’m lucky to live a hour and 10 minutes from LAS!

I like the Epsilon so far on my Prime Revex 2.

Should check out the buckrub rest.holds arrow till drawn

Good old QAD knife makes for easy opening of packages 😂😂

I shoot the hamskea epsilon rest made for mathews on my V3X 29. I shoot the hamskea primer on my bowtech revolt.nice review chris

Had mine for a year and it’s fantastic

you do know that your fletching's steer the arrow essentially right out of the bow? Put a bare shaft on at 6 yards you may get an inch tear vs bullet hole with vanes. I was fooled for a long time using fletched arrows thru paper. Bare shaft is critical.

Sweet another vid!

So on the initial set up you mentioned 13/16. Is that measurement from the inside of the riser to the middle of the arrow?

QADs are great until they're not. Between my 3 sons and I we've had 2 complete failures so we moved on to Hamskea and haven't looked back. Better built all the way around and reliable. I would ditch the clamp and use a prusik knot. You can adjust it as necessary without tools.

Ive replaced so many failed or randomly failing QAD's, it made me want to switch to a limb driven rest before mined crapped the bed at the worst time.

I have been shooting different Hamskea rests for 10 years starting with the Hamskea VersaRe10hey released it. They are rock solid, easy to setup and awesome to make adjustments in the backcountry if something happens and nocks the bow out of tune. The Hamskea Epsilon seems to be an awesome rest. I didn't have to make any adjustment to paper tune when I set it up on my Bowtech CP30.

You need to check out the OMP string and arrow levels! So much better than the traditional clip on string level!!

Had a QAD and lots of problems, it failed me the night before hunting season and I was leaving town for 3 weeks.

do you use the felt on the launcher?

I picked up a Bear Vast RTH package and want to put on a drop away rest. Can you make any recommendations or do a budget build of Bear Archery bows?

Great vId Christopher.

I've checked a number of those yellow plastic string and arrow levels against a Stabila level and they are off. The factory precision on those yellow plastic string and arrow levels are quite poor. Better to find ways to make small levels from companies such as Stabila that specialize in making high precision levels work on a bow and arrow.

Hi Chris I'm from Australia and are limited in choices for equipment and pro services atleast to the level you have in the states anyway and I know this is off topic for this video but you have shot a large range of the Mathews product. I like the look of the trx 34 v3x 33 and don't quite think I have the skill to choose between them could you please give me your opinion on which would be the best bow for a target and 3d/field, if you could only have one as a hybrid. l love your content and you have been the one that turned me into A Mathews fanboy I'm open to other suggestions regarding the models too I also love your beereal branding like the black bow gold strings and the black and yellow shrewd bars.

So, our shop has been able to get the Mathews Epsilon with out any delays for quite some time. The rubber dampener normally only takes a half dozen arrows to get fully set in. Also, Hamskea makes a cord mount specifically for the Mathews that replaces that piece you tied around.

Yeah haven't had to adjust it at all really after about 50 shots. I do have hitch on it that I can tighten quickly/easily.

We would Gladly pay extra to use the Pic Rail that comes with the Bow rather than the Over Draw Bracket that Changes my Brace hight!!!

@Muskiehunter92

6 ай бұрын

brace height does not change on a bow. It is the distance between the string and throat of the grip. The rest has zero effect on brace height... maybe it adds a half inch over draw which is negligible generally speaking other than maybe slightly changing the torque tune of the bow.

Ol trusty hinge and V3

the bow is plumb, level can only be horizontal

Take those vanes off and you will see a tear

I'll stick with my rip cord

No reason you can’t run this off a cable. Got mine hooked up to the lower yoke on my PSE.

Anyone notice that he is using a hinge 1

I got both the trinity and epsilon I like the trinity better

been running the Epsilon on my V3X 33 for over a year now... it's hands down the best rest around. IMO the QAD is nowhere near the quality of product that the Hamskea is.

Had to go back to the ULTRA REST Because the Whale tail launcher keeps holding arrows to the top R or L side, I swaped out the launcher with RIP Cords Launcher!! Problem fixed, I Told them over a year to fix this Problem !!!! MAJOR FAIL !!!!

no way i could use the Hamskea with the rest always in the down position. deal breaker

How floppy should the cord be at full draw?

Thats expensive!

Why would they go with their own pic mount instead of just using the bolt holes? If they are still using the bolt? I don't see the point in this....

For clearance for Mathew's low pro quivers.

Forget Hamskea’s setup instructions and do the following. Attach cord to yoke splitter and secure with slip knot. Trash the clip on top and tie in using a prusik knot. Done. Perfect timing, less cord hanging around, and looks slick.

The whole archery world is all over Hamskea’s nuts. Why? Vaportrail is just as good, if not better and doesn’t have that dorky spring or that weird clamp on the cable and not the rest. Hamskea has become the Crispi boots for archery. Just a social media influencer product.
