Standard AeroRest in 3MIL AL Oxide and Camo Finish

Micro Adjustable AeroRest in standard "C" and "U" frame in 3MIL AL oxide Finish

2013 AeroRest Improvements:
    Although 2012 AeroRest is having the highest tolerance, encompassing no less than 3 US patents, using the highest grade material and incorporating totally new design, Firenock discovered that 2012 AeroRest is not perfect for all users.  After selling 2012 AeroRest on the market, Firenock learned a lot about how an arrow rest is supposed to respond on different bows and in the hands of archers with very different shooting styles.  The issues of 2012 AeroRest discovered are as follows:

1. The containment cup machine tolerance is too tight for normal everyday use: Under temperature over 98F°, the balls start to stick as the 5.98 mm hole begins to expand and the balls starts to jam right inside the cup after each shot.  This issue is further exaggerated due to heat generated via friction when an arrow was shot.
2. The nylon ball is not precision enough.  The nylon ball's tolerance is 6.0 +/-0.02mm which make some of the smaller balls able to pop out the containment cup while shooting.
3. The aluminum oxide on aluminum oxide is not ideal for fine tuning adjustment as it can bind.  Example, the pin adjustment head may strip when excessive force is applied to turn the spring adjustment.
4. Many customers encounter a high tear while paper tuning when set up the bow.  This was discovered due to 3 main reasons:
1. Some bow designs put out a large amount of down pressure when shot.
2. Some bowhunters prefer a higher hand position than is considered ideal.
3. Some archers prefer a much heavier arrow than the original AeroRest spring was designed to handle.
5. Many customers have an issue gluing the side bar perfectly to the C-frame for the standard rest.  Therefore, all standard AeroRests now come with the side bar permanently pre-glued to the C-frame to avoid this issue.
6. For the micro-adjust AeroRest, we have listened to our customers and changed the side mounting bar secure system to a compression square fit system.  A specially sourced high pressure torx screw is used instead of a brass nut to secure the side bar to the frame.  This absolutely guarantees that the side bar will not move in any way or form.  The previous version, although flexible, can get loose after a few tournaments or hunt.
7. The side bar of the micro adjust AeroRest is shortened by 5mm so it will now fit the thinner risers like the PSE Money Maker or most of the Hoyt bows that use TAC risers.
8. A lower drop side bow mount is available as an option to address issues with bows that need to be tuned with a lower position of the arrow rest.  With the new lower bow mounting bracket, the rest can be adjusted to 9mm lower than our standard AeroRest bow mount.

1. 3 lower tolerance containment cups, it is now 5.95 mm instead of 5.98 mm to make it less critical:  It is also upgraded from 6061-T6 to 7075-T5 so it is less prompt to temperature variance.  It is also harder and lighter.
2. 3 brass pins with O-rings: To replace the center hard anodized aluminum pin so the possibility of binding can be minimized.
3. 3 higher pressure springs: with a higher pressure spring to compensate for the heavy down pressure some bows or archery gives.

AeroRest Advantages

1. RICTIONLESS BALL BEARING OPERATION:
   Hard ceramic bearing surface eliminates almost all friction between the ceramic bearings and the arrow.
2. FULL CONTAINMENT SHOOTING FLEXIBILITY:
   Three evenly spaced “Fingers” hold the arrow in place providing the most stable containment system available today.
3. NO WEAR CERAMIC BALL BEARING CONTACT SURFACE:
   Industrial grade ABEC#5 ceramic ball bearings hold the arrow in place and due to their hardness meaning virtually no wear.
4. QUIET DESIGN:
   The “magic” of the AeroRest is each of the three fingers contains 2 ceramic ball bearings and a beryllium copper spring which provides smooth and quiet operation.  For those who prefer ultra quiet, 2 nylon balls are included to be exchanged with the ceramic balls.
5. 1.5 OUNCE WEIGHT (SUPER LITE):
   The AeroRest is believed to be the most advanced and lightest arrow rest on the market.  This is attributed to the utilization of a new generation of materials (Si3N4 ceramic, MIL-A-8625 Type III aluminum, GR2 Titanium and Beryllium copper)
6. ULTRA HARD TYPE III ANODIZED FINISH:
   Type III aluminum anodizing finish is applied to the AeroRest with no less than 3 MIL of aluminum oxide for an extremely durable surface.  This gives the rest a natural camo gun grey / olive green finish.
7. GR2 TITANIUM FASTENERS/SPACERS (NO RUST):
   The GR2 Titanium Torx Fasteners and spacers are 75% lighter than comparable steel components.  Titanium eliminates metal rust issues while providing a precise washer thickness for stacking and maximum torque capabilities for torx screws.
8. FITS MOST EVERY ARROW SIZE (INCLUDING nano):
   AeroRest can accommodate arrow shaft sizes as small as 0.25” with the enclosed 18 titanium spacers and shafts as small as 0.156” with the optional spacer pack.  The AeroRest can hold larger arrows with shaft sizes up to 0.45” with one retention finger removed.
9. RELIABLE MOUNTING POSITION:
   AeroRest side bar is permanently glued to the best position on the C frame on the standard position which is base on the cock feather down position.
10. FOR LEFT OR RIGHT HAND SHOOTERS:
    AeroRest has a mirror image design which allow the rest to be used by right or left handed shooters.
11. MICRO ADJUSTABLE DESIGN FOR TARGET OR HUNTING:
    Micro adjustable containment spring tension allows the AeroRest to be at home on the target range as well as in the field hunting.

1. When the arrow is shot only two of three possible contact points are formed between the arrow and the AeroRest.
2. To further reduce friction the ceramic ball bearings holding the arrow roll forward as the arrow advances at high speed.
3. The only friction generated from the system is from the ceramic ball bearing and the edge of the anodized aluminum cup retainer which is simply close to zero. This zero friction causes zero wear to the arrow and the system.
4. Maximum durability and ultra light weight is achieved by utilizing GR2 Titanium fasteners and spacers on the AeroRest (the only fastener that is not Titanium is the set screw that anchors the bow inside the bow holder, it is made of stainless steel).  Case in point, a normal 5/16-40 3/4” blue steel hex bolt weighs in at 0.20-0.22 ounces and a 5/16-40 3/4” Titanium Torx bolt weighs in at only 0.053 ounces. A near 75% weight reduction is realized for that bolt alone.
