I actually have one on the way going to run it on my Matthew's phase 4 33 , this will be my first limb driven rest and this video right here is the cats meow, exactly what I'm looking for, great explanation great demonstration thank you for the vid
That Prusik knot is gold, I use it on my Epsilon now and let the tension off the cord when not using the bow to relieve stress on the drop away spring so it doesn't weaken over time. thanks for the video.
Thanks for the close-ups and detailed narrative in this video. I was never in boy scouts and had not even heard of the prusik knot before viewing this, but figured it out with your help.
I totally like the idea of the prusik knot instead of the clamp. The clamp just slips and doesn't hold the blade down at all. I'm been carrying a Phillips head with me to the range just to adjust it after a set of arrows
That’s what I was having to do as well. Having to constantly adjust it after only 10-20 arrows became very annoying😂I haven’t had to make any adjustments since switching to the prusik over a month ago, once you get the knot set it doesn’t move
Thanks for the video, the knot looks great. I will be trying that with my setup today. I've also been looking for different setup strategies on my Phase 4, because the rope actually rubs against the 2-piece LoPro Quiver and starts fraying after only a few hundred shots. However, I keep hearing that mounting the rest to the cable is making the rest bounce up again, after it dropped down and can interfere with the fletching. This is also why Hamskea strongly discourages tying up the rest this way. I wonder what your experience has been, one year after you made this video?
Haven’t had any issue with my set up (or anybody that runs it this way) but I’m sure there is a lot of variability with different bow types. I did noticed that the knot takes a while to lock in.. Maybe that’s why people are having issues with it being loose and coming back up? Not sure if that answered your question😂
I had been running through the yolk splitter. Good call there. But, the Prusik knot relieved my biggest issue with the hamskeas. I really am unsure if I like the rubber over the spring that came on the old hamskeas. But not having that plastic on there is GOLD.
Exactly. My blade was constantly coming up from the plastic clamp coming lose (no matter how tight I got it). I’ve shot well over 500 arrows with the prusik and I haven’t had to tighten, change, or adjust it once
I have done the prusik knot as you have on my Hamskea Hybrid & found that it only stays tight for a few shots then it must slip a little causing the launcher to start to lift up. Every 4 to 6 shots I have to retention the prusik knot it's a bit of a pain. Does yours slip after a few shots?
Does anyone experimented with doing this on a prime bow? I have a prime black 3, and there is a similar yoke splitter that has a round ring. I would like to try putting my cable on that.
i tied mine like this too but you need to check rest timing with the rubber dampener. I needed to have cord really tight to get proper arrow flight. Just snugging it so arm stays down didnt work for me.
Were you having clearance issues when the rest was falling away? And possibly bouncing back up as the arrow was traveling through? The rest should be at the same spot once you are at full draw
@@hunteralmer no i had no clearance issues. I had left right tears. If cord was not as tight Ihad left tears. If cord was too tight I had right tears. I had to find the sweet spot for perfect bullet holes. Drove me crazy.
I have a bowtech sr6 , my concern w limbdriven rests are when the cord goes slack at draw , contacting the arrows in the quiver. Do you think this will be an issue?
That’s why I switched to tying it this way. It brings the chord a lot tighter than the recommended way to tie it. I haven’t had any issues with my V3X and the quiver is really close. Hope that helps!
I just wanted to compliment you on the formatting and production quality of this video.
Your explanation and videography are great!
Thank you!
Well, will be redoing my rest today on my VXR, Great video. Look forward to your content. Thank You
Thank you! Will be doing some more this hunting season👍
I actually have one on the way going to run it on my Matthew's phase 4 33 , this will be my first limb driven rest and this video right here is the cats meow, exactly what I'm looking for, great explanation great demonstration thank you for the vid
Thanks man! Let me know how you like the rest this season!
@@hunteralmer So loving the epsilon , the prusik is great , Like the rest so much on my P4 33 , Ive already added one to my P4 29 and Triax as well
Works Great. Many Thanks an greetings from Germany
The prusik knot is perfect to adjust on the fly and I'd never use those clamps on any rest regardless of type I'm rrunning
Nice
The knot is a great idea. I learn something new every day! Great tip!
You’re telling me I taught George Ryals something new?! My day is made😂
That Prusik knot is gold, I use it on my Epsilon now and let the tension off the cord when not using the bow to relieve stress on the drop away spring so it doesn't weaken over time. thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Forget the clamp or slider, hate them both. This is awesome, thanks for sharing man!
No problem! Glad I could help!

Awesome man, glad I could help!
The closeups really helped with understanding this install. Nice work! 😎🤙
Thank you🙏🏻
Show me your draw board and rest timing comparisons to different tying location.
Great video! You just got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you!

Awesome video. 👌. I just redid my epsilon like your video and omg it is sweet.tying the rebound to the yoke is better.great installation video
Awesome, glad it worked well for you🙌🏼
If you’re not going in the woods with a set of folding Allen keys you messin up!
Exactly!
I put 3 on top & 3 on bottom. Maybe the stock cord is not biting on itself enough.

@@hunteralmer Just switched all my rigs over. They are tighter on the first go for sure.
This is great, was just fixing the football brace due to it failing again after about 12 shots. What bow feet/stand is that? Thanks for sharing!
It’s the original Mathews one piece stand, before they came out with the tripod one a few years back
You ever try this with some #23 D-Loop material?
As long as there is no stretch you should be good. You could use a shoe lace if needed!
When you showed the final close up at the very end, what happened to your rubber rebound dampener?
Haha good eyes, first time tying the knot I forgot to put it back on and that’s when I shot my b-roll. Had to untie and start over lol

Does yours slip after a few shots?
@@craig9950 I haven’t had mine come loose since I made this video a few years back. How many loops around the main line did you do?
Does anyone experimented with doing this on a prime bow? I have a prime black 3, and there is a similar yoke splitter that has a round ring. I would like to try putting my cable on that.
Might have to buy myself a Hamskea rest now
What happened to your rubber rebound dampener that you started with and did not end with? No mention of that in your video... How come?
Forgot to put it back on lol. Had to redo the whole thing

That’s amazing 👏👏👏 Thank you got this vid! 🥤🥱🍿 I immediately tried this, and it works great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad I could help! Makes the hamskeas even better
