Default RE: Drop away rest? Are they all that good?

I am still a big fan of launcher style rests. I currently like to use rests like the GKF Royal Hunter, Platinum Premier, and Golden premier. I have shot fall aways also and they do work but for hunting I mostly like simple & easy and the rests I mentioned give me that. When I hunt I don' t like to worry about anything & the simpler the better!

I do have one bow right now that is set up with a fall away. on that bow I found it worked rather well but honestly I shoot the same with or without a fall away. The main reason I use the fall away on this bow is that I wanted to shoot a super light carbon over 300fps with a very hard helical & 4" fletch. I was just looking for a fast & easy to tune rest that would give me no fletching contact with this setup. I also used a fall away that has a built in guard (Mirage) which for this bow I felt was something I wanted since it had a very small shelf.

I do think sometimes it is an easy solution to correct fletching contact for your average person that isn' t going to spend a great deal of time tuning their bow. I really think the main thing is having faith in your equipment. If a shooter uses a fall away and has faith in it because they think they shoot better this is a good thing and that person will have better success.
