Trophy Ridge DropZone Fall Away Rest Review
Trophy Ridge DropZone Fall Away Rest:
Construction: Machined Aluminum
Overview:
As of late I have been shooting a lot of fall away rests. They all have been great products and the various models on the market have impressed me. When I first got a hold of the DropZone I was very impressed with it' s quality, construction, and original
design concept. I like the idea of the vertical dropping arm and it works great.
The rest is very smooth and silent. It has built in vibration dampeners, which are licensed, from Mathews. I honestly couldn' t say how much they really work but it' s a cool idea! I can say that the rest has performed very well. My groups have been super tight and left & rights are almost a thing of the past (also with other high quality fall aways).
I really like this rest, it is a great product and I feel any hunter would be happy with it. I know I am!
Rating system: 1 = poor, 10 = best.
Durability: 10 - Built like a tank! Solid machined aluminum with 2 large bolts for vertical and horizontal and is rock solid. This rest built to last a lifetime. I just don' t see how you can hurt this thing while on a hunting trip.
Quality: 10 - Everything fit together super tight and was well machined. This a first class product designed for the hunter or shooter looking for a very solid and original product. It will last a lifetime.
Price: 8 - This rest is about $109.00 at most shops for a camo version. This is a higher price than a lot of rests but this rest isn' t the same as a $50.00 dollar rest. I really think this rest is worth the price since the quality is so high. It is designed for the performance minded archer looking for the best gear.
Warranty: 10 - Lifetime warranty to the original owner. As good as they come!
Tunability: 9 - Two bolts as easy as it gets to adjust. It does use a cord that attaches to the buss cable so a press is needed for this step or you can try one of several other ways to attach it also with out a press. The rest tuned really fast & 5 shots latter I was done & shooting.
Total Score: 9.4
Final Comment: I really liked this rest and plan to use it this fall for hunting. I am shooting it on a Bowtech Extreme VFT and found it performed perfectly on this bow. I had no fletching contact and the launcher is clearing my fletching with plenty of time
left. This is amazing since this bow is shooting 308 fps. Fall away rests are not for everyone but if you are willing to try one you would be hard pressed to find a higher quality product than this. I found it to be a very durable rest that performed as Trophy Ridge states. It combines a unique concept with high quality and durability, which is always a win win for bowhunters!
