I have shot quite a few different rests and none are really more accurate than the other if set up correctly. Drop a ways are not more forgiving than a good prong rest, or better yet a blade rest. They do help if you have fletching contact issues though. In my opinion that is their only benifit. Some drop a ways because of the way they function actually work as a slight overdraw rest, which is not more forgiving at all. And almost every drop a way I have used required a slightly higher nock setting in order to get the same tune I had with a prong rest.

I currently use a drop a way but am considering going back to a prong rest or a blade type rest. Nothing really wrong with it, just some minor issues I am having with it that bug me more than effect function.

Some of the best groups I have ever shot were with a 20 dollar prong rest, cheap 3 pin sights and the release hooked right to the string. Sometimes simple is better.
