Default What are your thoughts?

Time for me to start some trouble...

I was at my local pro shop the other day working on some paper tuning and asked the guy there to help me with some adjustment. He gave me some advise saying that there are 2 things in the archery world today that are useless and a waste of money. One is the Whisker bisket because it tears everything up and the other is a drop away rest (which i use). He said that there is no need for a drop away because if you properly tune a prong style rest you will never have contact. Also it is very easy to knock a drop away out of alignment and there are many things that could go wrong with them at the moment of truth.

I really didn't pay much attention to what he said and continued paper tuning. After a few more adjustments and getting nowhere with my tuning progress i put all of my arrows away except one and took 3 shots at paper. one shot was torn up and to the right, one just down and the last down and left.

It really started to get me thinking about the whole drop away craze. I never had problems like that with my old rest. and it looks like the launcher is coming all of the way up when i draw.

So...what are your thoughts about my problem and the drop away rests?
