I use mole skin on my drop aways and they are all silent. The MZE, the TT and the SME drop away.

The white tape used for bandage's works well is inexpensive and is easy to replace . By the way I just got through installing a nap 4000 rest and I am very impressed with it it is the quietest fall away I have used yet .I did modify it though to use the cabels to accuate insteed of the cabel slide .

We all have different oppinions , if we did'nt the world would be a BORING place

Just like the guys say, add some Moleskin to the arms and you have one silent fallaway!!! I love to use the Moleskin on the Super Scoop arms of my GKF Mirage. I like the way this rest captures, centers, and lifts the arrow better than others.

Moleskin on the MZE. Drew back on a deer last week, at 7 yards. Didn't hear a thing.
