Truglo EZ-Rest Brush Capture-Style Arrow Rest
Product description
What you get: the capture-style EZ-Rest assembly with a brush ring, replaceable bristles, rubber loading caps, mounting hardware and laser-engraved reference marks for sighting. Brushes and caps are serviceable components so routine replacement is possible.
Materials and dimensions: a lightweight composite body paired with aluminum hardware makes the rest durable and weather-tolerant. The bristle ring features a .325 in. center aperture to accept common hunting arrows; construction uses single-density bristles designed for consistent contact and longevity.
Compatibility and fit: the rest suits both carbon and aluminum shafts across typical shaft diameters. It mounts to standard screw bosses and converts for left- or right-handed setups. Full windage and elevation adjustments let you tune alignment precisely with your sight picture.
How it’s used: install and loosely position the rest, then nudge it left/right and up/down while shooting groups to align impact with sight aim. The brush capture holds the arrow at virtually any angle until release, and the rubber caps reduce loading noise for hunting situations. Brushes are replaceable when fraying occurs.
Finish and markings: the unit ships in a black finish with laser-engraved reference rings to speed setup and repeatable tuning.

Quieter and smoother than some alternatives
Made shooting smoother and less noisy compared with older whisker-style rests I’ve used. The metal frame is sturdy, though the softer bristles began to fray after a few dozen shots — replaceable and inexpensive.

Good performance, minor wear
Does the job well. I’ve noticed some bristle fraying already, but it still holds and shoots reliably.

Solid capture rest but needed a hex set
This brush rest functions exactly as intended after I bought an imperial hex set to fit the fasteners (no tools included). Once mounted it’s straightforward to move left/right and up/down until impact matches the sight. The brush ring lets the arrow pass cleanly without forcing it off-line.

Easy to mount and tune
Mounting was straightforward and it adjusts cleanly. Still dialing it in, but so far it’s a nice unit and a good value.

Stopped fletching damage, shoots smoother
Switched from my old rest and it stopped ripping vane tips. Fibers surround the shaft so arrows fly straighter. Installation on my compound was quick and the fasteners hold tight. No slips so far and it’s easy to tweak.

Sturdy, simple setup and stays put
Arrived in good condition and was simple to install. The rest stayed tight despite higher vibration on my rig. Solid choice for beginners and experienced shooters alike.

Quiet and reliable for hunting
Exactly what I needed for hunting — once the arrow is seated it only exits forward. Quiet loading and minimal impact noise. Easy to install and use in the field.

Replaced my shoot-thru, very pleased
Swapped my old rest for this one and I’m impressed. Easy to mount and adjust, holds the arrow securely and maintained arrow speed. Accurate and dependable in the field.

Budget-friendly for beginner rigs
A decent mid-range rest for a student or occasional shooter. Will wear faster than drop-away rests under daily heavy use, but setup and adjustment are easy for seasonal archers.

Well-made and accurate on my recurve
Feels well crafted and fits any screw-mount bow I’ve tried. On my recurve it delivered consistent, on-target shots every session.

Almost perfect — watch the mounting bolt
Worked great once I swapped the provided bolt for one from my local archery shop; the included fastener didn’t match my recurve. Now it handles 50 lb draw easily and offers solid windage/height adjustments.
