Many target shooters still prefer a non-dropaway rest, and some hunters as well. If you can stack arrows with a prong type rest, I wouldn't worry about switching unless its something you just wanna try. This coming from a guy that switched to dropaways. My accuracy is no better nor worse with a dropaway. I think the biggest advantage is that many dropaway rests offer better containment. The biggest reason I switched to a dropaway is because of my desire to shoot the smaller diameter arrows such as Easton Axis and my current A/C Superslims. Funny, but one of the best dropaways I have tried is the Schaffer prong dropaway rest[8D].
