LEDE Micro Adjust RAK

Ripcord Arrow Rests has unveiled the latest iteration of its RAK Rest, featuring micro-adjust capabilities. Designed to deliver fine-tuning precision, the micro-adjust RAK Rest allows archers to dial in horizontal and vertical positioning for a new level of accuracy.

“Ripcord has always been driven by a commitment to innovation and high-quality craftsmanship,” said Todd Snader, brand manager for Ripcord Arrow Rests. “With our new micro-adjust RAK Rest, we’re giving bowhunters fine-control adjustments that translate to even faster setup and accuracy.”

  2. Dependable Drop-Away Design
    The RAK Rest features Ripcord’s drop-away technology, engineered to deliver consistent arrow clearance and minimal contact with the vane or shaft.
  3. Quiet Operation
    The RAK Rest’s internal damping system reduces noise and vibration.

When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
