I came back and reviewed this post and it appears that I gave the impression that golden key doesn't make a quality product, or at least that is how some of you percieved it.

Before the MZE the "only rest" I used was a golden key platinum premier. Great product and I never had any problems with it. However from a hunting standpoint the MZE just fits my needs better. Hunting in the west with a bow is tad different than hunting whitetails from a treestand. I'm sure you've all seen the video's on the outdoor channel so I won't go into much detail here. Suffice to say that bull's coming to a bugle can be a down right unnerving experience. I hope you all have the experience at least once in you life. Arrows falling of the rest is a common occurance for the weak of heart like myself. The main reason I switched to an MZE was more it arrow capture capability than its drop away functionality. FWIW, this also happened to Len when he went to Montana elk hunting, and he's someone that handles a bow everyday. So back before everyone else jumped on the drop away/arrow capture bandwagon Len started looking for a solution that would help us folks that continued to have arrows fall of the rest at the worst possible moment. Enter the MZE, being a little bit of a gear head and always willing to try something new, I was excited when he called me and said I think we have solution to this problem. Needless to say my bow was on its way FEDX the next day. Got it back about a week later and couldn't believe how well it shot, held the arrow close to the bow shelf and basically did eveything I needed for an upcoming hunt. Moral of the story I got a 6x6 elk on the next hunting trip, in a situation that was less than ideal. Matter of fact I bet the dreaded arrow falling of the rest would have more than likely happened again. The bull came in silent and the next thing I know my guide is going, "don't move, just look out of the corner of your eye, their's a nice bull about 8 yards from you". Damn near had a heart attack, and thought we were screwed for sure. Fortunately I had nocked an arrow before we stopped and all I had to do was keep my eyes on him as moved to about 25 yards and glance down just for a nanosecond and clip my release on the string. Never had to worry about whether or not the arrow was going to be there. Well the rest is history and I got a nice bull. So folks that is why I have an MZE on all my bows. I'm sure that other drop aways function well, and to each there own. And for those folks with better nerves than I have a regular rest probably works just fine also.

Have a great hunting season and hope all your arrows hit the sweet spot.

ijimmy, thanks for the support.
