BICASTER Archery Cushion Plunger + Arrow Rest Magnetic Adjustable - 1 Set

I can't say enough about how big a difference switching over from a hunter style rest over to this plunger and arrow rest was. It helped alleviate some of the issues of stiff spined arrows and the vanes impacting the riser on my 66"26# SAS Spirit. (Obviously getting softer spined arrows should be the long term fix, but that will be down the road for me.)Although there are no micro adjustments for the vertical and horizontal position of the arrow rest arm, it can be adjusted by loosening the appropriate screws on the arm and swivel, adjusting the position and then re-tightening. Also, you get a second chance with the arm horizontal position with another adjustment screw whose primary purpose is to adjust the resistance offered by the magnet, but also coincidentally changes the arm position.The plunger is properly sized for modern metal/fiberglass recurve bows to give you maximum adjustability for centershot position. It'll also work great for wooden recurve bows like the OMP Adventure 2.0 which have thinner center sections. For my SAS Spirit which has a much thicker center, the plunger's button nicely clears the riser, but only about 2mm of the plunger will make it out of the Berger hole and still give you full range of adjustability for the stiffness of the spring. If you know exactly what setting you need for plunger stiffness and have no plans of changing it on the fly, you can set the plunger in deeper if you need to.The particular arrow rest I got had small defect where arm screw was coming loose after about 60 arrows. I kept on re-tightening the set screw until I finally stripped the set screw after over 100 shots. The seller worked with me to figure what went wrong and to get me a replacement. Awesome customer support and service!If you are starting out and are looking for a great value for your money, be sure to give this plunger and arrow rest set a try.

I’m an autodidact and taught myself how to shoot a recurve bow. Hence, I’ve been doing many things wrong from the start. One was shooting off the bare riser. You can see in the second picture where the vanes have worn the finish off my riser. The Top Archery bow came with a cheap plastic arrow rest that I quickly lost. It was never much of an issue until I got more serious about improving my setup. In three years, and four bows later with lots of accessories for all, this is the single greatest upgrade in terms of ease of use, totally reliability of performance, and accuracy. No joke. I’m no longer constantly pulling shots to the left. My arrows rest comfortably without fuss and fly true. I’m super happy with this rest and took the time to write this review as my personal way of saying, “Thank you for a making such a great piece of gear”!

I absolutely love arrow rest/cushion plunger now that i figured out how to attach it to my recurve bow.I am new to archery and its just a fun hobby, so I am learning about all of the accessories to help with accuracy. I love the consistency this rest provides. the only thing needed is some instructions on how to install and adjust once installed. I was able to figure everything out eventually but I could have done without the frustration.

The plunger is old fashion with respect to spring tension adjustments but works well. Be careful when changing springs, there is a tiny spacer between the spring and tension post.

Will they work? Yes. Can you get better stuff? Yes. Are they a good value? Arrow rest probably. Plunger not really/maybe. As a DIYer who only dose targets these will work for me.Pet peeve is they sent a wrench which was too small for the plunger.Arrow RestThe arrow rest is similar to a Spigarelli Magnetic ZT but Not the same. Nice wire diameter and stiffness. We will see how well the set screws hold after several shots; a little blue loctite has fixed set screws that loosen quickly due to vibration so I'm not too concerned.CushionNo easy click style windage adjustment but I wouldn't expect it for the price. Any adjustments required allen keys. The plunger tube, purchased two sets both with same issues, has burs causing the plunger travel to be erratic. Suggest disassembling and rolling emery cloth inside to improve plunger travel. Plunger not suitable for high/low draw weights. The set comes with extra springs but they were all the same spring rate (I checked these poorly using a digital scale and ruler. If you do something more scientific please post the values). Out of the box mine were set at 350/400 grams (plunger depressed halfway). A turn of the fine adjustment brought it closer to 300 grams. Out of the box this is fine for 30-35# recurves. Plenty of threads available to push this well into the 400's but it won't go past 500 grams. Needed one set at 200 grams for a 20# draw weight bow. With the adjustment backed almost all the way out I couldn't get 200 grams (best was 220's) with the plunger depressed halfway. Cut the last coil off one spring and moved all the adjustments in (main abut 4 turns and halfway on the fine adjustment). This gave 190's-200 grams with the plunger depressed halfway. Again not the smoothest travel.

This is a great setup. The plunger comes with a spare push rod but they both seem to be the same material, as compared to other brands that have a different material for aluminum or carbon arrow shafts. The plunger is smooth, easy to adjust, and the whole thing is solid.

Nice!

Got the rest and plunger set up on my bow. As has been mentioned before Instructions would be a big help. So far I'm very happy with how the rest and the plunger are working.The rest comes with a washer to be used with installation, if you use it the plunger doesn't seat fully because the washer is in the way. You don't need the washer.Its a 4 star insted of 5 because instructions would really be good.
