Default Whats a good drop away rest?

I told myself I wasnt going to buy a new bow or mess with it until I shot a buck with it. So I got one this year and now im wanting to buy a drop away rest and prolly some different sights. The bow I have is not anything special I just havea Browning Rage. I was just wondering what some good drop away rests are and also some sights. Any help appreciated. Thanks

i recomend the vaportrail limbdriver. i use one and its awesome. theyre also probably the fastest drop away on the market, so you dont need to worry about your fletchings hitting it before it falls. I was at the proshop saturday and in an hour or so 2 guys came in both complaining about their drop aways. both now have limbdrivers. they're pretty cashy, but you can check their site and check em out and see if you like em. not sure the site but you could just search vaportrail and find it. theres lots of other cheaper ones on the market that are very good as well.

I like the TROPHY RIDGE dropzone, that is one of the best in my opinion, got one on my bow and its awsome. And if you wanted to try one im selling one for CHEAP.

I shoot a Trophy Taker, mainly because it was what was on my bow when I bought it, but it's been really good to me. I also like the Schaefers, and the Spot Hogg drop away.

As far as sights, I love my G5. The micro adjust works very well. The LED is amaizing. and it's probably the all around toughest bow sight I have ever owned.

I went from a good NAP smart tune to a great Schaffer rest.
