RE: Drop away VS Prong Rest
Only reason I went to a dropaway is because I wanted to make it easier on myself tuning the smaller diameter Easton and Beman arrows. I really would not have had to, but it gave me something to play with[8D].
Germ, if you ever get the chance to try out a Schaffer you should. It can be used as either a regular prong rest or a dropaway(with the older prongs). I am sorry I sold mine, it was a very accurate rest and easy to tune. I should have kept it to put on another bow.
