Sell it on ebay and get a trophy taker is about the best I can offer. They perform flawlessly. Sorry.

USE A NAP DROP AWAY, JUST DON'T TRY TO ADJUST THE GAP, BECAUSE THEY WILL BREAK.

Outlawcrew, you touched on what has been my biggest Drop zone concern- Lack of dirt consumption.

All those noocks and crannies are just begging for some dirt to get in there and slow up the action.

I covered each of the holes on my DZ with some camo tape.

You might consider taking it all the way apart and giving it a good cleaning.

If you plan to continue to hunt in a dirty & dusty climate the DZ may not be your best option. The Trophy Taker looks to be less critical on dirtand grime. It would take a lot more dirt to slow it down.
