AAE Driven i Arrow Rest

AAE Driven-I — The Most Accurate and Stable Limb-Activated Fallaway on the Market

The AAE Driven-i is built around a simple premise: the most accurate, most stable limb-activated fallaway rest platform available, redesigned around QAD's patented Integrate Mounting System to be as compact as possible. By mounting inline with the riser rather than off a standard arm, the Driven-i eliminates unnecessary weight and leveraged force at the attachment point — resulting in a rest that stays put, shoots clean, and delivers repeatable arrow flight season after season. If you want a limb-activated fallaway on an Integrate-compatible bow and you want the best version of that category, this is it. Available in right hand and left hand.

Key Features

QAD Integrate Mounting System — Compact, Inline, Stable

The Driven-i uses QAD's patented Integrate Mounting System to connect directly to the bow's riser dovetail — eliminating the standard mounting arm entirely. This inline connection reduces the mechanical leverage that can cause traditional-mount rests to shift or creep over time, keeps the rest profile compact and out of the way, and delivers a more rigid, stable rest-to-riser interface. The Driven-i fits every bow on the market that utilizes the Integrate Dovetail.

Most Accurate and Stable Limb-Activated Fallaway Platform Available

The Driven-i's limb-activated design ties the rest's drop timing directly to the bow's limb movement — one of the most consistent and repeatable timing mechanisms available in a fallaway rest. As the bow fires and the limbs return, the Driven-i's launcher drops cleanly below the arrow's path. AAE positions the Driven-i as the most accurate and stable limb-activated fallaway on the market, and the engineering decisions behind it — sealed bearings, flexible launcher arm, Integrate Mounting — back that claim.

Twin Stainless Steel Sealed Bearings — Maximum Accuracy

The Driven-i's stainless steel tolerance-fit axle rotates on twin stainless steel sealed bearings for maximum accuracy and smooth, consistent operation. Sealed bearings resist moisture, dirt, and debris — keeping the rest performing the same way in a November downpour as it does on a warm September practice session. Consistent bearing operation means consistent launcher movement, which means consistent arrow flight.

Unbreakable Flexible Launcher Arm — Accurate and Quiet

The time-tested flexible launcher arm is designed to increase accuracy and reduce noise simultaneously. The flex in the arm absorbs small inconsistencies in the shot cycle while maintaining a stable, consistent platform for the arrow during the critical moment of release. AAE calls it unbreakable — and its track record across the AAE rest lineup validates that description.

Extended Capture Time — Built-In Forgiveness

The Driven-i's launcher arm stays up longer than most fallaway designs — increasing the arrow's time in contact with the rest and providing more guidance through the initial phase of the shot. That extended capture time builds in forgiveness for the minor form variations that happen in real hunting scenarios — tight treestand angles, awkward positions, cold hands in November.

Manual Adjustments with Laser Engraved Reference Marks

Vertical and horizontal adjustments are made manually with precision laser engraved reference marks. Once your rest position is dialed in, the marks let you record your exact settings and return to them accurately after any removal or reinstallation. Clean, precise, repeatable setup every time.

Who It's Built For

The AAE Driven-i is for the bowhunter who prefers limb-activated fallaway timing and wants the most capable version of that design on an Integrate-compatible bow. If you value the simplicity and reliable timing of a limb-driven rest — and you're running a bow with the Integrate Dovetail — the Driven-i delivers the accuracy and stability to match the best of any other rest category. Right hand and left hand available.

Why Extreme Outfitters Recommends It

The Driven-i is the right rest for hunters who want limb-activated timing on an Integrate-compatible bow without compromise. QAD's Integrate Mounting makes it more compact and stable than any standard-mount limb rest, the sealed bearings keep it running smoothly in any conditions, and the extended capture time adds the forgiveness that hunting situations demand. At $164.99, it's the more accessible option in the AAE Integrate lineup — and it delivers everything a hunting rest needs to perform. Our techs can install and time it in the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bows are compatible with the AAE Driven-i?

The Driven-i fits every bow on the market that utilizes the QAD Integrate Dovetail mounting system. This includes a wide range of current bows from Mathews, Hoyt, and other manufacturers. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific bow model before ordering.

What is a limb-activated fallaway rest?

A limb-activated fallaway rest uses a cord or cable attached to the bow's lower limb to raise the launcher at full draw and drop it away at the shot. As the bow fires and the limbs return forward, the launcher drops below the arrow's path. Limb-activated designs tie drop timing directly to limb movement — one of the most consistent and reliable timing mechanisms available in a fallaway rest.

What is the difference between the Driven-i and the Prophet-i?

Both use QAD Integrate Mounting, sealed bearings, and a flexible launcher arm. The key difference is actuation: the Driven-i is limb-activated, while the Prophet-i is a lock-up style fallaway. The Prophet-i locks the launcher in position at full draw for maximum consistency at the moment of release, and is priced at $194.99. The Driven-i ties drop timing to limb movement and is priced at $164.99. Both are excellent hunting rests — your preference for timing style should drive the choice.

Does the Driven-i require a bow press to install?

The Driven-i uses QAD's Integrate Mounting system, which requires access to the Integrate Dovetail on your bow's riser. Installation does not require a bow press. Our techs can install and time the Driven-i in the shop — bring your bow in and we'll get it set up correctly before you leave.

Is the Driven-i available in left hand?

Yes. The AAE Driven-i is available in both right hand and left hand configurations.

How do I time a limb-activated fallaway rest?

Timing a limb-activated rest involves adjusting the cord length and attachment point so the launcher drops completely below the arrow's path by the time the arrow clears the rest at the shot. Our techs can set this up correctly in the shop when we install it. Properly timed, a limb-activated rest like the Driven-i drops cleanly every shot for consistent, repeatable arrow flight.
