i switched from a prong to a drop away and will honestly say i increased in accuracy...not a tourney shooter just hunter and practice at target...groups got tighter..my thought is because not being the best archer i am sure my left hand "bounces" or moves some thus moving the springed 2 prong rest causing my arrow to "bounce" a little as well....the drop away just drops..same speed same thing every time...as long as my left arm doesn't "bounce" up the arrow will do the same thing every time......for a non pro and just a regular joe i would recommend a drop away just based on my findings here..
