Default Drop away rest



What is the advantage of using a drop away rest over any other style rest?

Less drag on the arrow, no fletching contact with the rest.

fletching clearance is the advantage. Accuracy increase may or may not happen. If your inaccuracy was because of fletch contac then it will help, if your inaccuracy is for other reasons then it may or may not help. more than likely not though.
