just wondering how everyone sets up their fletching for this rest. I'm shooting 3, 4" feathers with right helical. I've heard of guys that put the cock feather up, down and to the side. What way works best for this particular rest? Thanks.

Wich way you put the fletch is completely dependent upon what feather you want to hit, and what you want it to hit.
Cock down and you hit the bar
Cock up and you hit the rubber shelf holder
The great thing is if you set it up just right you can hit them all at once
Kind of like a dropaway wisker B[8D]

Are you saying that the Drop Zone is not a very good choice for a drop away? My buddy had one and had trouble with vane clearance on his Bowtech VFT. My dealer said that was the only one that he has had problems with. He replaced it with a new one and I think it helped. I was thinking about a Drop Zone but I am beginning to hear complaints about unexplained noise problems with them also??? Kinda confused! Maybe I will get a trophy taker instead. What is the pros and cons with them?
Consider my response, Tounge and Cheek mixed with a bit of truth
Also consider it a blanket statement that reflects my experience with all drop-aways I have tried.
Then read my Sig........and take it from there

CWB....the noise problems you heard about were probably a result of a post I wrote.
When you manually activate the launcher arm by pulling the cord and suddenly letting it go, you hear a slap that becomes inaudible during an actual shot. I decided I was just being too fussy about it as others experienced the same noise thus ruling out a malfunction. That it can't be heard during a shot makes the whole issue irrelevant.
I shoot large feathers and the only clearance problem I had was with the bow cables. This was a product of the cable guard Bpwtech put on their Patriots combined with the large shield cut feathers I was using. I fixed this with an aftermarket cable slide and again, this was not a function of the Drop Zone.
This being said, I am happy with the rest so far and would buy one again. I just wish I had picked up the micro adjust version given the amount of tinkering I do.

Forgot to mention, I had a minor problem with a fletch hitting the foam keeper when shooting cock feather out. I now shoot cock feather up and I can achieve those beloved bullet holes.

I have no contact with my 4" vanes cock up. See Ya.

When you put an after-market cable guard on any bow, you've got to be very careful. Too much fletching clearance can and will change the dynamics of the bow.
