RE: alright give me the low down on drop away rest
It is impossible for you to say that we can't use these as arguments.
First) Fletch clearence for one is the biggest advantage. And don't give that crap about spending countless hours tuning your tm rest. If I gave you a thin carbon arrow (acc for example) with helical there is no way you could get that through a prong rest without it hitting at least one part of the rest. Most archers accept this fact and just sight their bow around it but with a drop away I can be tuned faster and more accurate, no matter what arrow I shoot.
second) Speed is not a minute argument. No, I don't care how fast the arrow gets to the deer. That is not the point. I DO care that rather then loose 5 fps I can gain speed and reduce the amoint of pins on the bow and have a better chance at making an ethical shot. (No, arrow rest alone will not accomplish this but combined with other modifications it will)
third) Yes, I know there are all kinds of attachments and overdraws and arrow holders to make your rest perform better but why the h#!! would I want to buy all of that crap when I can buy just 1 rest. And to say that there is a lesser chance of failure, c'mon. My MZE is 1 swing arm on the cable slide. The slide or swing arm would have to snap in 2 for it to malfunction. I would take that any day over a spring tensioned TM with 3 different set screws and micro adjusts on a 3" overdraw with a seperate rubberband released arrow holder.
Buy a drop away. There faster, easier, simpler, and more effective. It's that simple.
