I have been using the ARC Systeme drop away rest, and have found it to work PERFECTLY! oh yeah, it also cost UNDER $50!!! Holds my arrow on even with the bow tipped at 90 degrees to either side!!! And I have been shooting it at over 300fps. ZERO contact. If shooting standard vanes (5&quot I shoot cock vane up...that way I don't have a vane touching my face at anchor. When I shoot my prefered Kurly vanes, I shoot cock vane in (for the same reasons...look at the Kurly vanes and you'll see why).
Oh yeah....almost forgot, you don't need anything to hold the arrow in place when the bow isn't drawn (some styles you DO). I can be set up that way (Basically set it up as an overdraw...this way the rest goes full horizontal on release).
If your using a drop-away rest, make sure it starts dropping soon enough, AND you have clearance when it is down (Do NOT shoot cock vane down).
That said, I have tried the savage drop away, and sold it to a buddy for $10 <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
