EVERY 3D guy I talk to says some kind of spring steel rest. The reason I get is that they are more reliable. I'm gonna argue that point to the bitter end. My Drop Zone has been 100% reliable, NEVER failed me. How much more reliable can a spring steel be??
Not to discredit those guys, they OBVIOUSLY know what they are talking about, but I would dearly love for someone to give me a better reason that "because that's what all the target guys use" or "because they are more reliable".......Neither one of those justifies my purchasing a new rest.
I know mobow. We are talking not just the "average" weekend 3d shooter though. These are just simple and proven. The more reliable part is about all they have to them, the reason the big dogs use them is because, say your dropzone just happened to somehow screw up. It might be only one time, and you might not even notice it. One little flaw like that "could" cost someone a world title.
That's the only thing I can think of [8D]. I guess they know their stuff and everyone shooting on a national level is using them. Or atleast most.
Same can be said about
any rest though, in all honesty. Dropaway or not, %^$& happens and we as archers know about that more than just about anybody else.
Reliable is reliable, I'd have to agree with Mobow.
