[@landonfogle5903]

I would love the hamskey rest for spring turkey season and whitetail deer dan. That would be a huge blessing 🙏 since I have a whisker biscuit

[@ElkShape]

BOOM! Let's replace that Whisker Biscuit. Send me an email with your shipping address and the rest is yours bro. Thanks for being a subscriber! -DS

[@ericswafford9149]

This is epic!

[@Rob-qs3xx]

give it to this man he is still using whiskers

[@JOYJesusOthersYourselfPhilippi]

I thought everyone used whisker biscuits still? Haha I’ve got one on mine and actually Just gave one to my buddy.. shows I’m up to date…. Haha 😂

[@jasonito1723]

@@JOYJesusOthersYourselfPhilippi My old premonition has a whisker b on it. I use it for wild boars and slay the load of hogs. But gotta admit i like the groups my enkore with a hamskea primer on it.

[@shaynewhitehorn8389]

I gotta be honest with you Dan, when I first started watching your videos I thought you were an asshole. But in spite of my gut reaction, I kept watching because the information was good. As time has gone on I have realized I was dead wrong about you and for that I apologize. What I initially took as arrogance was very soon realized to be an absolute passion for what you do. You take what you do seriously, and you hold other people to that same standard. The world could do with a little more of that. Keep it up.

[@ElkShape]

I understand this thinking, I hate coming across arrogant as I am here to keep learning, the passion/fire is real and I hope that comes through. -DS

[@shaynewhitehorn8389]

The passion shows. As a flat lander, I’d love for the opportunity to make it to a camp to learn from you. I just want to get better everyday. ABT

[@hunterdolanch8725]

I used to strongly dislike MFJJ when he was first on videos. Now he's one of my favorites to listen to anything archery related. Can't wait to wear out my GAS strings to send MFJJ my bow for some Spokane Customs lol.

[@donfrance3]

Just bought another Hamskea. You really cannot go wrong with all their choices in rests.

[@richarddean3154]

The length of the string on a limb-driven rest makes my agent orange act up. No thank you on the rest, but a big thank you for doing these videos. Additionally, having an archer as talented as MFJJ saying that the Epsilon is the best rest ever is a great compliment to the engineers that designed it. Have a safe winter.

[@bv12ringer]

Richard if you read up on this particular rest, it can be set up as cable driven. I am like you and don’t like the long string hanging around

[@Aldocello1]

Decided to finally go to a limb driven rest over the cable driven and I decided to give the Epsilon a try and my goodness wish I would have done this way sooner, absolutely love it, it is now on all three of my Matthews

[@brandonparker3278]

Man I would love to have your arrow rest , you’ve done a lot to help me through some tough times have been having here lately. Y’all’s videos mean a lot more to people than y’all know , thank y’all.

[@ny-co3039]

Next level you make your own strings josh. I didn't know that. Impressed by this video, I thought it was gonna be all about the rest

[@stick__shooter]

Hamskea makes a fine product, but I still prefer the Vaportrail rests.

[@gsstyles1]

I noticed you didn’t mention the little flat spot on the whale tail on each side where the arrow occasionally hangs up, and if that’s not in your shot process to check your arrow every time you release you could mess or like me shoot $100 worth of arrows into the wind

[@jesselost05420]

MFJJ singing Nelly is my new ringtone lol.

[@brendenalfery1109]

I would love that hamskea rest for my sons bow

[@novascotiapsearcher4497]

My 15yr old apache rest is in need of a replacement. Love all videos, keep up the great work and content.

[@mmcguire5687]

Hey NS! Yarmouth boy here although have lived out west in AB my whole adult life. Currently shooting a Hoyt RX3, sold my number 2 bow, a Mathews VXR and waiting for the 2022 PSE’s to come out as I am looking at adding an EVL to my lineup. If NS opens the damn border up this year, I might make a run for it on my bike. All the best in your archery and hunting endeavours.

[@novascotiapsearcher4497]

@@mmcguire5687 I have been trying to get out the AB for the last 3 yrs to go on an archery Elk hunt. Damn COVID is killing me here. I have been shooting PSE for 30+ yrs now. Currently have an Xpedite NXT and absolutely love this beast. 450gr arrows are screaming at 315fps. Good luck on the upcoming season.

[@mmcguire5687]

@@novascotiapsearcher4497 I’m currently shooting an older Hoyt RX3 Ultra and I love that bow. I have over 7K arrows through it. I had a Mathews VXR 31 which I also liked. It was a tack driver. However, those Mathews cams were killing my left shoulder. I was taken out in a motorcycle accident 12 years ago, and actually that’s why I started archery. Anyhow, my left shoulder has issues and I sold the Mathews. I have test shot the 32 and 34 PSE EVL and it is a decently smooth bow plus I can opt for the 90 percent letoff if necessary. Of course PSE seems to be the last company to release their line up this year “and” then there will be the actual delivery date issues. We shall see how it plays out. Covid issues aside, I may make a run for NS on my bike this year. We shall see. What part of NS are you in?

[@jons7e]

Just ordered Eclipse.... waiting on V3X 33 to come in to install it. Game changer. Pretty cool how strings are made. Oh yeah, I'll take a Trinity!

[@RobertWilliams82-22]

I’ve heard people say that with the “past parallel” cams, the Hamskea limb attach bracket messed up the rest and timing and those same people said that Hamskea actually recommended the rest cord be attached in front of the axel closer to the deepest part of the limbs…. What’s Josh’s take on that and has he seen timing issues or any damages to a rest from said mounting location.

[@derekwwharvey4]

I would love that Hamskea arrow rest. I will fly up and come get it and hit a workout in the new gym, fling some arrows and make for a badass off season weekend!! #ABT

[@Hoboappalachia]

Ill take it, just got a Mathews outback as my first bow. Just put a new string on it and peep sight, now got to replace the ol whisker biscuit. Great content from all of the Elk Shape Crew. Can’t wait to see what you got for 2022!

[@patrickhuffaker7429]

Broke my popular cable driven rest (not gunna bash a brand on here) and now I need new limbs this year as well after I noticed some damage on my top limb. Getting this rest would help out a ton, especially with explaining the situation to the wifey

[@SushiReel]

Bought this to replace my broken qad, limb driven is bomb

[@bv12ringer]

The epsilon will also attach to the down cable

[@shanehuddleston3761]

I had to change my top hats to the middle set. Shifted left on my V3 31 and now on my V3x 33 with the trinity my Ellison has been on order since I found out that hamskea was making a new inline rest didn’t know what they were going to be but knew it was a hamskea

[@orlandoagostinho6615]

New to archery. I am learning that all that is good is$$$$$$. I would love the trinity,No Matrix. Thanks for the content.

[@whodeyrip15]

I'm just buying my first bow it is a v3x 33. And I wanted a hamskea but can't afford it yet...I'd love it

[@tannerjones3246]

Love the missing shrink tubing on the speed nocks

[@tannerrasmussen680]

I would love to have that rest! I just picked up my V3X 33 from SVA last week.

[@billmcstay194]

I bought my Trinity because of MFJJ / elkshape... Great video... as always.

[@thek5blazerman]

Question on the string attachment. Why cant you run it to the yolk splitter on the cables?

[@archerice6730]

Oh it would be a blessing and a big upgrade from my qad hunter rest

[@ericwolbert3256]

Love all the begging for a free 🐝 everyone has a story!

[@druscetti]

I’d love your arrow rest. Keep the great videos coming!

[@asahunt4316]

Any issues with rest timing when tying to that hamskea limb bracket? Heard you have to tie further up the limb with the v3/V3X.

[@caninphx]

I've never seen anyone have issues with timing on a hamskea. Unless they tied it to the limb close to the riser. Believe the instructions say to have it at or around the axle (2" if the back of the limb I think it was). Only time I'vee seen timing issues is with cable driven rests or someone installed the limb driven rest without reading the instructions.

[@asahunt4316]

@@caninphx there’s plenty of discussion on Archerytalk about the rest not working properly on the V3 when tied to the Hamskea Mathews Limb bracket. A hamskea tech actually stated it was an issue due to the shape of the limbs on the V3. He said to tie it to the limb further from the end.

[@joshuaryan980]

I live in Utah but I will drive to Idaho to pick that up from you just for the experience and to meet you guys

[@poppasmurf15]

A Hamskea! Would be awesome on the TAC mountain this year 😉🤘

[@vancejohnson1778]

Awesome stuff man love the tinkering videos, and I mean I'd never say no to a trinity 🤣

[@jacobmitchell4917]

I would love to try that old hamsky! Would say that there are people that would benefit from the gift more than me! Keep up the good work on the videos!

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one from podium website and can't wait for it to get here. 🤘

I don’t mind dirt, I have a 2 yr and 4 yr that are always dirty, some how. That rest would fit quite nicely in my life 🤟

[@ObamaOsucksOass]

[@Nic-with-the-Beard]

Hell yeah! Free rest? Sign me up!

[@jasonhayzlett4353]

Would be happy to take it off your hands. Appreciate your content. Either way will be putting a hamske a on my bow

[@catnipples4]

Do you put something over the speed nock? Also will you be doing a video on the rail mounting when haskea releases it? I'm wondering if the bolt is better because of durability vs the rail and a something breaking off

[@Kremit_the_Forg]

I don't think the upgrade from the Trinity to the Epsilon is worth it. Never had a problem with a worn out spring, sure it can happen but then again they are replaceable and isn't there just the springless-rebound-dampner-kit-thing available? That beeing sad, adding a new bow to the collection this year I will definately buy this.

[@mindgames072]

Id love that arrow rest! Just getting back into compound bows

[@fportillo211]

One surprise for me, when I undraw the bow I haven’t quite figured out how to not make the arrow rattle in the cage. Any tips on how you un-draw quietly with the Epsilon?

[@lowerValleyhunter]

Yes o need it!!! Hope to start a backup bow soon 🙏. I love the experience and excitement 😄 😊 in the shop.

[@claytonscruggs7219]

As much as I'd love that trinity, rocking an elk shape hat would mean so much more to me!

[@HighDesertAdventurer]

This is a great rest on my V3X! It's quiet and solid!

[@brandonshanks1077]

Could definitely use some of that elk shape work hard juju. The rest would be a good addition to my bow

[@demunbell]

MMJJ, Will you elaborate more on launcher blade angle and correct stopping position? My launch blade is wearing the felt off down middle of the launcher. Just a standard (trinity hunter pro)

[@nickwebb4957]

I would love to have the Hamskey arrow rest. I’m deployed right now and plan to upgrade and tinker with my RX1 Turbo when I get back home. Keep up the great work! I love your videos and work out tips! Im a left handed shooter though.

I’d love that rest!

[@timguadagno9236]

Getting my buddy into archery and told him about your channel. Would love to get him this rest to upgrade from the whisker he is shooting.

[@bw8812]

Could the cord on the Epsilon be tied to the cable yoke on the Mathews instead of the limb? Might tuck the cord in that much more!

The rest would be awesome

[@jackbuendgen389]

[@makanalaureta6794]

Super cool you are giving away your old rest. I was going to put my name in the hat but by the end of the video mfjj had sold me on getting a epsilon lol. I’ll wait til he gets them in stock and order 1 up. Thanks for all your amazing content, keep up the great work!

[@primalexperiment3332]

Some of the best and real content on the KZbins. Well done men

[@justinjhauser5110]

It's awesome that you gave that rest away, dude. Good stuff. Love the channel. I noticed MFJJ didn't shrink tube the speed knocks on your new string...going all natural on those too eh lol. I might have to send the ole Mathews out west for some custom podium ( Dan's color scheme) strings and cables. They look sharp and perform as good as they look I'm sure.

[@bencreach7839]

I would love the rest for my bow!

[@peteracero9408]

[@hcr1248]

Could you tie the limb cord to the yoke instead? Maybe bring it in a bit closer?

[@kylecansler3106]

I'll take it I need a good rest for my new bow

[@calebdorsey7953]

Dan, with this rest being attached to your limb, have you had any clearance issues with the AAE fletching on the arrows in your quiver? If I run into that issue, can I run this rest off of my yoke and still get the benefit of limb driven?

[@nicolasmora5395]

5 months and that rest looks like it’s been through it. Definitely in the market for a new rest. Really interested in the hamskea

[@myronriggs9613]

Of course I would like a rest. It would be great to use something other than a wisker biscuit

[@brianlattimer9903]

So compare and contrast the new Hamskea v Mathews integrate. I have the new V3X coming. Which should I get!!
