I know what you mean Jeff! I see it all the time as well. I completely agree that the money should be in the rest and arrows as well... One of my buddies just finally made the switch from that stage. He was using a tm hunter style prong rest on an overdraw shooting a hodge podge of arrows ranging from easton excels(I believe, maybe spelled different?) 400's to epic 340's. They were cut as short as they could be, and he is a 28" draw. I finally got him to throw that pos away, and set him up with an older drop away of mine, and some new epic 400's at the appropriate length.
Its always interesting when the people dont wanna listen to what your telling them! Just gotta go "ok then, we can do it"...
