Default Drop Zone on a Justice

Right now I have a shakey hunter on my justice, fletch clearing is minimal 1/16 of
a inch. I shoot feathers but will be switching to axis arrows with vanes, more clearence.
I have only shot this rest at 10yrds in the basement and shoots good. The small
clearence makes me a little nervous though.What I am wandering would a drop zone
work better on my justice as far as clearence goes? Has anybody put a dz on a bowtech
and what are the results?

Rack-attack has a DZ on his SC Patriot.

I think he's getting ready to post a review any day now...

jag ,i know you asked about putting it on a bowtech ,however i just put one on my hoyt mt sport (guide series) and let me just say this ,i was shooting bullet holes pretty much out of the box ,i had to make one minor adjustment after i got my center shot . and my groups have improved where i can't aim at the same spot anymore or i'll damage an arrow ,it is an awesome rest!

Jag,
I am using the drop zone on my Liberty. I too had the trophy taker, but had too many issues, including fletching clearance. The DZ has worked flawless so far. The vertical launcher is a huge advantage over the other drop aways IMO. Can't imagine using anything else.

Techy
If you mean the cock feather, I have shot it up,down, sideways dont get me wrong
I am clearing, but barely. I called the shop about returning it after 2 months and
theysaid no problem. They happen to just get in some black drop zones and they
are 84 bucks, my sh was 70 so guess what will be going on my bow.

I used a DZ on my BowTech Extreme VFT and it worked flawlessly. If you can use this rest on your rig then you're in for a treat.

I've been kicking the idea around about trying one of these on my Xtec. I am currently using a Trophy Taker, and while its very accurate and durable, I'm just not completely happy with it. I think the noise of the TT is what get to me the most.

Cornfed, how is yours working on your "X"?

Muzzyman,

I absolutely LOVE the Drop Zone on my XTEC!!! This is without a doubt, THE best shooting rig I have ever had the privilage of shooting/owning. I would seriously suggest checking one of these rests out, you won't regret it!!!
