Default Muzzy Zero Effect in/around St. Louis...question?

How many of you guys are shooting this rest and what do you think about it? I had all but made my mind up to try this rest. I had read so many great threads on this site, and others, regarding this " awesome" rest that I assumed I might be one of the last few that hasn' t tried it. That is until today. I was " out and about" today so I decided to drop by a couple of Pro Shops, very large pro shops I might add, and check on pricing. The first place I asked, " do you got any Muzzy ZE' s?" He said, " I got one, and if you want to buy it then I' ll order one more to replace it." Kind of dumb founded by his reply, because of the review' s I' ve read, I asked, " you not sell many?" He claimed he had sold a total of two since he started carrying them and had problems with both, one in which he gave a full refund after replacing the cable slide, hook and linkage arm. Needless to say he didn' t recommend it. Thinking this has got to be a fluke, thinking the guy probably had a bad taste in his mouth and doesn' t push them to sell anymore, I need another opinion. So I " high tailed it" down the road to next Pro Shop, again a large shop and quite frankly the place I would tend to purchase from. I asked the same questions and the guys reply was, " I have yet to sell one or install one." Now I don' t know what to think, I felt like they stamped " STUPID" across my forehead or something. These are two of the largest archery pro shops in Central Illinois, I mean beautiful multi-thousand sq. ft. facilities, bows, sights, and other gear out the butt and a number of employees that would make Wal-Mart look small and combined they had sold a total of two. My trip back into Missouri didn' t get any better. On my way home I called a new little " dinky" " mom & pop" shop just down the road from my house. The lady said, " we don' t carry' em but I can order you one." I said, " you guys don' t sell and install these rests?" She said, " I know my husband would love to help you but to my knowledge you' re the first person that has asked about them."

What the heck is going on" Did Muzzy forget to market these things in the midwest. I had fully intended on doing the install myself but it would be nice to have a little support if something goes wrong. These Yoo-Hoo' s around here won' t know anything more than I do.

A total of two ZE installations, 3 shops, across 125 mile stretch from Effingham, IL to St. Louis, MO and one place doesn' t even carry them.
