Default Drop Away Rest Questions

Hey all,
Im in the market for a drop away rest. Just not sure what brand I like, I open for all sugguestions. Also, do they make any that hold the arrow in place when your not at full draw? cause i do a lot of still hunting. Thanks.

PS - I know theres beenalot of talk bout this, if you have a link to any archivesthat would be helpful.

I'm using the NAP Quicktune 3000 but I think I like my girlfriend's Trophy Ridge better. Stay away from the High Country because the arm is made of plastic and they tend to break leaving you SOL in the woods.

Actually I have a reason for the silence. I need a few more days to figure it out. I"™ll give you all a hint"¦things were great with a 443 grain arrow at 284 fps; however, with a 405 grain arrow at around 295 fps,things are being worked on if you know what I mean.

The HTM is the most rugged drop-away on the market but few people use them.
That's because no one knows how good they really are.
