RE: What rest?
Count a vote for the Drop Zone. I had posted some earlier ramblings about the noise heard when you actuate the launcher arm manually, but it seems this is normal and inaudible during an actual shot. My fletching clearance is total, and timing has not been an issue. Don't underestimate the timid little piece of foam they give you to hold the arrow on the riser between shots. It does the job well enough that my neighbor wants one despite the larger molded rubber piece his NAP provided with his drop away.
