I used one this year early and then went to a drop away. I liked it a lot. When practicing it could be hard on fletches if you didn't put a little fletch tite around the tips of the fletches. It made my vanes wavy after awhile too. But for hunting, you never had to worry about dropping the arrow and once tuned they allowed me to get tight groups. I passed it on to my 10 year old because he was having trouble with his arrow falling off his rest

THWACK!
