RE: Fall-away vs. Fixed arrow rests
Hi J.
I totally agree with Cargo. I just put one on my bow this hunting season, I used to have a whisker biscuit arrow rest. I now have a NAP Quicktune 2000 Fall-Away rest and just love it. I also switched to more helical fletching on my arrows to help flight with broadheads. That was the main reason I changed arrow rests. Shooting helical fletching through a whisker was loosing me up to 10-12fps. Not that speed is everything,,,but that was a bit much for me.
Back to the NAP rest, very durable, easy to tune, shoots a great arrow, but a bit scratchy on the draw with carbon arrows. I use a little vegatable oil on my arrows and it seems to help alot. If you shoot a camo carbon arrow they seem to be a bit more quiet also. I have 4 friends that I hunt with that shoot the same rest and have nothing but good to say about it. I also hear that the muzzy is a great rest too.
Just my 2 cents worth.
