Well I scraped the TT and the quicktune dropaways – they did/would not work well with the 03 solo Pat. I could get the TT to shoot well but it was such a precise combo of nock height and drop timing that it became a bear to tune – so good bye

So like the idiot I am I went out and bought another drop-away…….LOL.

The Trophy Matrix Drop Zone.

First off I don’t get to excited about any product – I just ask that they do the job right. Heck I have a 15 year old – 15 dollar prong rest that does the same darn thing as these new 100 dollar rest. I don’t believe in magic and don’t ever expect to be able to buy it.

It’s a nice looking rest (like that will put deer on the ground) with the standard non-micro adjustment bolts for windage and elevation. Solid and usable.

Standard pain in the arse cord attachment to down cable. Seems solidly attached to rest (its inside so you cant see it) no real worries there.

Mounted nice and snug to riser shelf (limited overdraw). Arm has good movement of travel and does a good job cradling the arrow. No better no worse than the TT or the QT. To be honest, I shot a regular pronged rest for so many years and never ever worried about the arrow falling off. For a tree stand hunter it is IMO a mute point. IMO the real reason for all this cradle craze is the fact that fallaways have more of a tendency to jerk an arrow off when drawing – so the mere nature of the beast creates a need for a better arrow capture simply to solve a problem that never really existed before. Whatever…….If your arrow falls of any of these rests you got greater problems.[:-]

The Most important aspect of this rest for my setup is that there is NO fletching contact. This rest is much less sensitive with respects to when it raises the arrow. It seems to not only drop faster (the straight down part may also help) but just works better than the other dropaways with my setup.

My only complaint so far is that when at the full up position the arm does have a little play in it – you can with pressure push the arm down. I have not had any flyers because of this. The rest is shooting great and accuracy is right there with my 15 dollar prong. When switching from 75 to 100 grn heads though I have been noticing a lower than normal impact. Very consistent with the same grain head but I think the heavier head is lowering the arm a little more than the lighter one. I don’t like this and I will look into the problem further.

Its hard to blanket statement a recommendation for any rest (as I have learned) because each setup is different. Overall I think this rest is a very fast dropping, good design that “should” work very well with most bows. It positions the pull up cord further from the arrow than the TT and there is no tab and knot to worry about.

I just may hunt with this one
