Drop-aways
I have been using a Savage Derringer drop away rest for most of the season. I recently started having problems with it. I could not get consistent groups. I thought it was just me-not enough practice or something. I then notice that there has been major fletching contact and the paint is gone on one of the prongs. It had also worked loose and was sliding left-right some, too. I go to the pro shop and he said that they have been having problems with drop-aways. even the Muzzy ZE. They are still seeing fletching contact with several different brands. So much for a cure-all rest. I had them put my TM Hunter Ultimate back on and am immediately shooting like a champ. I say this to make you drop-away users aware that they aren't a cure all for fletching contact like I thought. I use ACC's so there isn't as much room to play with as far as turning nocks/prongs as with aluminums. That's why I decided to try one. My mistakes combined with poor rest performance has cost me this season.
