Hello. We just got new Hoyt Formula X's yesterday and set them up with the Zniper rest and Beiter Plunger. We are using Easton Axis 700 spine with 125 grain tips and 75 grain inserts cut to 30 inches with 4 inch feather 3 fletch. Shooting 3 under Bateman tab. First we could not get the rest to drop all the time so we adjusted the Allen screw to lighten the tension. The result was it was had to be so light to drop all the time you had treat your shot cycle it like you were carrying nitroglycerin or the rest would drop prematurely. When the rest when it did drop was still grabbing the lower fletch and feather edges were being reduced by contact. We would micro adjust to stiffen it up and then we could not get a consistent drop. My arrows took a severe beating and after 45 shots we were sadly disappointed. Our feeling so far is that we are fighting with this product, too touchy, unreliable, and you shouldn't have to worry about your rest functioning properly on each shot. I agree the first test drive was less than satisfactory. My gut tells me we must being doing something wrong with rest because it is so inconsistent and hard to use and no one would sing its praises with the results we experienced. Can you suggest anything that we could try before we return them to Lancaster Archery? I really want this product to work, all input would be welcomed. Rick Mansberger 🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
Hi Rick, sorry to bother you. I just got my Zniper rest and i'm having the same problems. If you want the rest to drop with every shot you have to set it up so lightly it always drops when loading arrows. Did you come op with a solution or found the problem ?
@@sanderoudevrielink123 Hi I got an message from John Demmer Las Vegas Champion Barebow and he advised to have nicking point at 1/4" height a d shoot cock feather up. John used the sniper to win Las Vegas, so it must work well for him. Sadly we had to go another direction, but I hope to re-visit it someday soon. I hope this helps.
Scott thanks,, my ? I shoot split vision,, so I don't put as much downward pressure as facewalking, my current rest is an AAE ELITE FREE FLYTE set for normal retraction, any big advantage with the Zniper?
Finally, a vijejo explaining the Zniper Rest. I can see how the Dropdown mechanism could help but i´m curious how distracting it is to manually reset it before each Shot?
I have an issue with the wire making a weird sound... comping from traditional I'm not used to that sound at all... basically I guess because it's to stiff idk... it bounces

Great info! I’m just getting into shooting ILF rigs so I’m really digging the bare bow content. Keep it coming!
Thanks for the video
Recently got mine and love it
Spigarelli rests come with a spare wire at half the price? How has the Zniper improved your shooting and what have you achieved with it?
Hello Scott. Thanks for the review. It's been two years since you posted this. Are you still using the Zniper? Thanks!
Great review, thanks for the upload!

tom conaway I think the biggest advantage will be for a string walker but it is also going to soak up some of the variation with a normal release.

No issue at all, it really becomes second nature as you load the arrow.
Thanks for your reply. Looks like a good choice when I get into Barebow after the Indoor Season.
