RIPCORD INNOVATIONS

Ripcord’s line of rest for 2021 is loaded with innovative features that deliver the best accuracy and performance possible. The Drive Cage stays up longer on the shot to fully stabilize the arrow, then falls fast to eliminate fletching contact for increased accuracy. The MAX & MAX Micro delivers unmatched accuracy with a precision ball bearing drive mechanism and a vault lock cord drive that makes setup easier than ever. Our Code Red X combines durability with versatility, eliminating unwanted weight with its sleek mounting bracket and ensuring maximum forgiveness with a lightning-fast fall-away. The X-CHANGE target rest can be taken off the bow for travel or switching setups and features the only micro-adjustable blade angle. Ripcord also offers micro-adjust to fine-tune accuracy even more. Each comes with a lifetime warranty. All made right here in the USA. Whatever style of rest you prefer, we’ve got you covered!

FIREFALL DESIGN

LAUNCHER STAYS UP – Ripcord MAX features a FireFall design. The launcher falls only when you fire, not when you let it down.

DOUBLE DOWN BRAKE

ABSOLUTELY NO LAUNCHER BOUNCEBACK The launcher break is another Ripcord innovation. High-speed footage shows that many other fall-away rests bounce back right into the path of the arrow vanes, defeating the purpose of falling away. Ripcord features the very first dual-brake system that ensures there is no launcher bounceback.

RIGHTTIME FALL-AWAY SYSTEM

PATENT-PENDING RIGHTTIME FALL-AWAY SYSTEM Fall-away rests offer forgiveness by eliminating the transfer of your bow hand torque to the arrow. Yet, the launcher also offers stability to the arrow upon release. With the help of high-speed footage, we’ve identified the optimal point of fall-away. The Ripcord launcher fully supports the arrow in its first few critical inches of forwarding travel before falling away.

CLICK MICRO-ADJUST

EXTREME MICRO-ADJUSTABILITY FOR OPTIMAL REST TUNING (MICRO-ADJUST MODEL ONLY) Professional target archers depend on micro-adjustable rests to precisely fine-tune their bows. With the Ripcord Micro-Adjust, you’ll be able to do the same. You won’t believe how well your bow will shoot after fine-tuning your rest like never before. The left/right and up/down micro-adjustment allows you to dial in your rest for the ultimate in bow shooting performance.

ULTRA SLIMLINE LAUNCHER

ULTRA SLIMLINE LAUNCHER FOR 46% MORE VANE CLEARANCE Vane design has changed radically in the last several years. Vanes have become shorter, stiffer, and taller to better control broadheads. Most arrow rest manufacturers have not kept up with vane innovation. The MAX allows more clearance on curved riser shelf sidewalls. These new taller vanes create a clearance problem and, on some rests, will hit the launcher even when the launcher is in the fully down position. Ripcord MAX features the first narrow hunting launcher for fall-away rests. Our Ultra SlimLine launcher gives you up to 46% more vane clearance—more than any other full containment, fall-away rest. In addition, many new bows have curved or scooped riser shelves.

X-CHANGE BLADE ANGLE

The new shelf design can cause a wide launcher (which you will find on many other fall-away rests) to bottom out and bounce back right into the path of the arrow, causing extreme vane interference. The narrow launcher on a Ripcord X-CHANGE won’t hit these curved sidewalls.

THUMBCOCK LAUNCHER

The ThumbCock on the MAX launcher allows you to load your arrow and cock the rest with just one hand for quick and easy arrow loading.

FULLTIME ARROW CONTAINMENT

YOUR ARROW WON’T FALL OFF Thanks to its FireFall design, Ripcord MAX offers 100% Fulltime Arrow Containment. At no time is your arrow not contained.

BALL BEARING DRIVE

Ripcord’s new Max and Drive line of rests uses a precision ball bearing drive system. This allows for tighter tolerances and a smooth cycle, helping both accuracy and consistency.

VAULT LOCK CORD DRIVE

Ripcord’s new Vault lock cord drive gives you the ability to make quick and easy adjustments to the cord tension on a cable-driven rest. This will save valuable time when setting rest timing or simply changing out the cord, without the need to re-serve to the cable.

ULTRA SLIMLINE LAUNCHER

MAX’s Narrow Launcher

MAX’s Ultra SlimLine launcher has 46% more vane clearance than the wide launchers on other rests. MAX’s narrow launcher won’t bounce up off the curved riser self sidewalls (now popular on many bows) like the wide launcher on other rests can

X-CHANGE BLADE ANGLE

X-CHANGE Micro-Adjustable Blade Angle

Change the blade pitch with simple micro-adjustments. The blade will never drop or lose its spot.

Ripcord DropDead Brake System stops launcher bounce back

Extensive testing using highspeed photography shows that a key issue in proper arrow clearance is the launcher's bounce back. Some fallaway rests fall away and bounce back in time to clip the vanes on your arrow as it passes by, affecting arrow flight. To eliminate this possibility, we have designed an internal braking system into the Code Red that eliminates launcher bounce. We call it the DropDead brake and it will give you more consistent flight, and tighter groups and will allow you to more easily tune your bow than a rest that lacks this feature. The drop-dead brake, compared to the few others that exist, is simple, foolproof, far more durable, and made of all metal parts, not plastic.
