I have both a droptine and a deluxe version. I think the deluxe is well worth the extra money. I had to take a round file and cut a notch out of the metal at the bottom of the droptine bracket to allow for proper fletching clearance. Just a small amount did the trick, but without doing that I couldn' t get arrows to tune at all. After doing so I found the rest did an excellent job and is not on my backup bow. I am shooting the " skinny" carbons with the ICS bisquite with good results. I also shot the ICS type carbons out of the aluminum bisquit with no probelms at all.
