Default RE: Dropaway conversation

Not to sound like a sour apple, its always been about form IMO with any rest you shoot unless the rest is absolute junk. Although theory one may sound good I don't quite buy it. My simple and uneducated reasoning is before these dropaways became popular we all used shoot through rests or at least flipper rests. Maybe I am looking at this wrong, but I don't see any dropaway rest being more accurate than a good shoot through rest. Even with questionable form.

I do know that for me at least, I seem to tune better when I can get my dropaway to fall later rather than sooner. BG mentioned the Muzzy. I shot one for the last 2 years on my Patriot and like it. But I had a heck of a time tuning it/timing it for various reasons. No index scale, adjusting it was more trial and error than it should have been. Once I got it the best I could it presented no problems though. Its still on there. I just don't want the hassle of mounting another one and it is sort of ugly[8D].
