Right now I am shooting a Trophy Taker Pronghorn, and I can't stand it slapping my riser. Anyone know a way to fix this?

RE: Pass the salt... MAJOR kudos to the Muzzy Zero Effect rest!
Just got an MZE today for my 06 Allegiance. What is the final verdict on the cable crossing above or below the cable guard? Right now, mine is below, but like mentioned above, the cables are lightly touching. Has anyone had any problems with excessive cable wear when configured like this? What about those who are crossing above the cable guard, any problems? Thanks for any input,
Steve

sj, I kept my cables crossed as they were before I installed the MZE...
Ranger, that sounds like a great deal... Just ensure it's the Next Generation rest if you need that option, and be wary of excessive shipping costs...

Any body working on a way to get the MZE camo'ed?? Im thinkin if i can get a hold of some good camo fabric (real tree, mossy oak, or maybe some thing else) and wrap it around the arms with out screwing up the darned thing would be perfect. any other ideas on how to get it camo'ed till muzzy figures out it needs camo and starts putting some on it??

RE: Pass the salt... MAJOR kudos to the Muzzy Zero Effect rest!
There was a thread about black in the main bowhunting forum where some people (including myself) were concerned with larger items that may stick out in the woods (my concern was how obvious a nylon strap's black horizontal stripe is on a light colored tree; I can spot those from hundreds of yards away and always break them up with gray primer paint on my personal stands.)
Having said that, I'm not worried in the least about accessories being black. They're too small to worry about, and often are no larger than many black shadows you'll see in the treetops normally.

I'll certainly support the factthat Muzzy is among the best you can find out there.
Having said that, I am always nervous when the cables rub against each other.
The muzzy rest works in combination with their cable slide supplied and unfortunately other choices of cable slides here, is restricted.
I prefer the choice of experimenting with various cable slides, for good vane clearance, as well as for theprevention of cable rub, and also paying attention not toover tension the cables so as to affect cam lean or limb twist.
This being the case, I have found a 'personal'great combinationusing the Trophy Ridge (Guide Series) Drop Zone along with the Winners Choice weather tamer cable slide on my Binary Cam BowTech bows. I also did away with the arrow holder provided with the drop zone, and useda arrow holder that was originally marketed by Pine Ridge and now sold as a NAP product. This arrow holder is identical to the one shown on Greg's Tribute.
Before this, I tried the NAP Quick Tune Smartrest. I was really disappointedwith this rest. The'thump' you hear after the shot was annoying. Even though using the sims navcom rubber silencers did help to an extent, this was not a rest I wanted on my bow.
Silence is a sign of refinement! I was looking for silence!
I am still baffled how a recognized company like NAP would overlook something like this.
Obviously it a situation of what works well for you.

RE: Pass the salt... MAJOR kudos to the Muzzy Zero Effect rest!
dwd, it's extremely light.
The threaded turnbuckle and connecting linkage are plastic, as well as the pickup hook. The only thing that's metal is the square mounting plate, and the smaller striking plate which the adjustment screw comes up to make contact with.
Having said that it's mostly plastic, I've still found this rest to be extremely rugged and dependable, and have pulled it up through several tangles numerous times this year. I've walked through head-high CRP fields with briars that pulled at me and broke my Fitz fibers several times, and the rest itself was no worse for the wear.
