Default RE: Drop away or fletching contact rests?

ORIGINAL: mobowhuntr

Yes, the arrow is dragging through it, and yes, you may lose a foot or two per second, but it simply doesn't affect arrow flight. I can shoot a perfect bullet hole, so it must fly just fine.

I'm getting rid of it because it's "too complicated," if that makes sense. The other day while shooting, my draw cord came loose from my cable, rendering the rest useless. Yes, the argument could be made that if you check your equipment regularly, it would have been caught, therefore fixed, before I shot it. Well, I check my bow over everytime I shoot it, and when I started the session, it was fine. All of a sudden, it came undone for whatever reason. That was that. I'm not going to chance that again. I have several friends that shoot the biscuit w/ terrific success, and that simplistic approach is difficult for me to deny. As much as I shoot, I'll need to keep an extra biscuit or two on hand, but that's no big deal.

That's the same reason I no longer use a peep w/ the tube. All it took was that tube breaking w/out warning, and that was that.
i suspect he'll be back to adropper after he See's what that thing does to the fletching.
