ive converted everyone i hunt with to use them (8-12 people) all of us shoot great to at least 35 yds many dif types of bows and arrow set-ups. no problems just get it set where the rest should be. but i def recomend feathers just fall through the rest so smooth. i shot mine for over 1500 shots then replaced them just because i had the time. if i didnt have that on id go with the old TM hunter just because the drop aways are such a risk for something breaking or getting stuck and most flop the arrow around thats why everyone puts fleece tape all over the bow with them on.
I'm not trying to piss you off here, but have you ever used a drop-away? I've got a trophy ridge dropzone and I just may not ever switch. It's worked unbelievably well for the past two years i've owned it. I've had no mechanical problems, and it shoots like a dream. The arrow doesn't flop around, the rest is quiet, so I don't know what you think is so terrible about them. There are plenty of drop-aways that work just fine, and there are a lot that don't. The key is looking around. Like I said I don't know if you had a bad experience with one or not, i'm just saying that I know lots of people who are satisfied with the Dropzone. And lots of people who are satisfied with the Quicktune 2000/4000.
they work great ive shot a few of the most recomended but the thing is i just dont trust them enough. i dont want anything else mechanical on the bow if i can get the same accuracy out of a rest that holds the arrow like the biscuit and is so simple thats what ill use thats what ill recomend. im getting into competative shooting now and i may use a drop away on my bow for that but i sure wont be using it for hunting. just would want to kill myself if the buck of a lifetime stepped in front of me and then i draw and look down and the mechanisim that raises the rest is broken or stuck, just cant do it. theres nothing that makes them better then a biscut for any hunting situations or ethical shots.
