Schaffer XV Full-Containment Drop-Away Arrow Rest

Total Arrow Capture. Bulletproof CNC Architecture. Superior Vane Clearance.

When you are hunting the rugged terrain of North Idaho, you need equipment that performs in silence and never fails, regardless of the conditions. The Schaffer XV is not just an arrow rest; it is an integrated launch system designed to eliminate the variables that cause missed shots in the field. From the moment you load your arrow, the XV provides true, full-containment security, ensuring your arrow stays perfectly aligned on the launcher regardless of your bow’s angle, the terrain, or the pace of your stalk.

Precision-engineered in the USA, the XV is built from high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloys that can withstand the abuse of long days in the backcountry. It features a unique, geometry-driven drop-away mechanism that guarantees maximum fletching clearance at the highest arrow speeds, ensuring your broadheads fly exactly where you aim them, time after time.

Key Features & Field-Proven Benefits

• Total Arrow Containment: The XV’s full-capture housing keeps your arrow completely enclosed from the moment it is loaded until the shot is released. You can navigate the thickest pine timber, crawl through rocky draws, or hang your bow in a tree stand with total confidence—your arrow will never fall off the rest.

• Geometry-Driven Drop-Away: Precision is built into the mechanics. The XV utilizes a lightning-fast drop mechanism that clears the flight path of your fletchings instantly upon release. This eliminates contact interference, allowing for the tightest possible groupings even with large, fixed-blade broadheads.

• Bombproof CNC Construction: Built for the harshest environments. Every component of the XV is CNC-machined from premium, impact-resistant aluminum. It is incredibly lightweight, preventing unnecessary front-end bow weight, yet maintains the structural rigidity required for high-poundage hunting setups.

• Whisper-Quiet Operation: Schaffer understands that sound is the enemy of the hunt. The XV features noise-dampening contact points and a smooth, fluid activation stroke that eliminates the metallic “snap” sound found in inferior rests. It’s designed to be silent on the draw, keeping you invisible when the moment of truth arrives.

• Easy Setup & Fine-Tuning: The XV is designed for the hunter, not just the technician. With intuitive windage and elevation adjustment slots, dialing in your center shot and nocking point is straightforward and secure, allowing you to spend less time in the shop and more time in the mountains.

Technical Specifications

North Idaho Archery Pro-Tip: The Schaffer XV is a top-tier choice for the hunter who prioritizes reliability above all else. Because it’s a full-capture system, it’s arguably the best rest on the market for spot-and-stalk hunting where you might be holding your bow in weird positions or moving quickly through brush. Unlike open-prong rests that require you to constantly check if your arrow is still on the launcher, the XV keeps your gear ready to fire the second you need it.
