i use a drop away on my hunting bow, but not 3d or spot. if drop-aways were the end all be all for accuracy, arrow flight and reliability then the pro's would compete with them. the thing is - they aren't. what they are isthe latest fad. there are several reasons i'm considering bagging my drop away for this hunting season. one of them is creeping at full draw from an elevated position - unlikely i'll do it when staring down a deer - but possible. another is there is more going on than with a fixed position rest - and finally - like i said up top - they aren't more accurate, or more reliable, and they don't offer better arrow flight. they do get out of the way soexecution errors on the shot may be minimized. if you think your rest is more accurate than a tt spring steel - pick one up with the proper blade thickness and give it a test.
