Drp Zone, but then again I've never had a MZE. Just looked to heavy and cumbersome to me.

I own both, I prefere the muzzy if it will work on the bow you have. It would be on my Mighty Might, but I couldn't get enough cable guard travel to make it work properly.

On the other hand I am not having any problems with my Drop Zone either, I just prefere the muzzy is all.

You've certainly made the choice a tough one by selecting the 2 best rests in the industry. Personally I like the TR Drop Zone better. It's been such an incredible performer for me I'm really totally pleased with it. I also have noticed that alot of folks who have owned the MZE have made the switch to the DZ this season. I get many different emails and PM's from folks with feedback and the DZ really seems to be a great shooter and many folks are praising this rest because of it's super easy set-up.

I vote for the Drop Zone on the basis of it being less bulky and that it hasn't given me a hint of trouble all year (knock on wood!). It's also extremely quiet, especially with nicely cut fleece on the launcher arm and rest. It's 100% silent from my ear's perspective right behind the draw.

I have to vote for the MZE. It has me shooting bullets with a 1" group for the first time ever. It's extremely quiet and holds the arrow in place very well. I will never own another bow without one.

Default RE: Can't decide

I am unbiased on both of these rests so here is my take on both
the MZE is difficult to set up and the arm does get in the way of your hand lifting and lowering. the DZ is much simpler to set up both rests work equaly as good as far as how they are supposed to function

If I were to chose between the 2 it would be the simpler set up.
