Default RE: fall away vs star hunter rest

I have used a Star Hunter or SuperStar for about 10 years now on most of my bows. A couple years ago I got the chance to set up a MZE on my Pearson. It worked like a charm.

This past year I set up and tried 8 or 9 of the more common ones. They all worked OK, but then came hunting season. The ole Star Hunter went back on--for obvious reasons. KISS. Mount it, set it up, tune, and go shooting. No cords or anything to come loose or move.

Most of the ones with a cord tied to the "down" cable just didn't light a fire in me. For one thing I still had fletching contact with the cord on many of them. This might be splitting hairs, but what's the point of a drop away, but to get rid of contact. So I finally found one that I like (besides the MZE). GKF Infiniti with the cord connected to a cable slide from Vital Bow Gear's Ultimate. So I'll use this for 3D. And I gained about 4fps from the Star Hunter. Not that I'm worried about it. The bow shoots over 300fps at 53lbs and 27.5" draw as it is.
