RE: Drop away rests may not be so great
Kelly, I have found that the drop a ways are a bit more forgiving with broad heads, but like you said, with patients and the right spring tension you can get the same results with a prong rest. They deffinately help with vane clearance if you are shooting skinny arrows and a helical.
I just bought the book "Idiot Proof Archery". So far it is very interesting and informative, a damn good book in my opinion. I am starting to rethink some of my original ideas and things I have been told about tuning and form. It is geared more toward target archery, but could help anyone that wants to learn more about the sport. I tried a few things out yesterday that were in the book and some seemed to work pretty well. We will see what happens tommorow.
