Default Which drop-away rest?

I have decided to try a drop-away rest once the season is over, & am considering the following. Mirage, Drop Zone, & Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter. Which would you buy?

I bought the Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter and I will not look back. It's AWESOME!

Trophy Taker is a very nice rest.. works very well.

I personally use the GKF TKO.. It's built like a tank.. and easy on the pocket book.

Take a look at the APA Ultimate twister. I just picked one up and am very pleased with it. It sets up easily, and no matter what you do with your bow, the arrow cannot fall off this rest. My only bias for this rest is it is Canadian made, and I am from the big freeze. Nice to see some of our boys making a great product!!!

The GKF TKO is simple and GKF will talk to you about the installation, it is economical & works well with an elastic cord or elastic tie. It may be best to put a serving on the area in which you plan to make the tie, so one may screw it up or down to set the release point.

GKF will tell you to set the release point, so it will drop from 8 to 12" of the power stroke. I suggest 8" so the arrow will be under acceleration pressure (±15 to 60#-let off) keeping the bow tight against the bow hand; some say this will keep a multitude of sins of the bow hand, from transferring to the rest: seams to work for many.

Many companies test their bows with fall-always: some believe they think this will give them the best chance for money making stats.

I just switched from a WB to a MZE and my groups are 10 times better.

I'd have to vote for the DropZone. I'm new to the drop away too, but so far, i'm very impressed with it!

Heres another vote for the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone. I've had nothing but excellent results with this rest. Best fallaway I've ever personally used.
