My son uses a NAP flipper (the replacable head type) Robert :D

I used to use either a Cavalier Free flyte micro, or the free flyte elite in conjunction with the Cavalier long master plunger.
Both great finger rests on a compound :wink:

I'll add my vote for the Cavalier Free Flyte too.

Oh by the way this is for a friends Hoyt Mgnatec . Will these rests fit in that little cut-out Hoyt saw fit to introduce so you had to buy a Hoyt specific mount?
Also is there any reason why you cant use a twin prong shoot thru rest such as a TM Hunter? ( for fingers)

One of our guys who shoots fingers uses a GK magnet flipper rest. It comes with a adjustable plunger button, and works pretty good, especially for about 1/3 the price of the free flyte.

Coach.
If you shoot a bow with fingers you need a rest with side control (pressure button), as the arrow will flex in the side to side plane. With a release aid the arrow flexes up and down
Best wishes , Mark

I shot both the Free flyte micro and the free flyte elite on many Hoyt compounds, including a Magnatec :wink: They fit fine.

you can use a launcher like the tm hunter , but for the best results you need to take out the inside arm and install a plunger button onto the bow . that way you still get the cleareince you require but have the plunger to take out the sideways pressure . My recomendation like others would be the cavalier range .

I have just been using the NAP rest as I am not sure if I will stick with fingers...
Just curious sights and fingers is an unusual combo, most people go one way or the other ie if they go to sights they also switch to release?

The NAP flipper rest with the plunger built in are great but expensive. The free flight range is good value for money too. The Star Hunter is also worth a look.

I ind the super star from Golden Key the best, if money is an object go with the star hunter its the same but without all of the adjustments.
I have shot some of my best scores with this rest.
