Default drop away rests

do you guys with dropaways use regular size vanes or do you use the small tiny vanes? ive heard that some people say there fletching still hits on some dropaways with the bigger vanes 5 inch i think it is. should i switch to the smaller vanes, or is it more the type of rest that causes the problem?

Trophy Ridge Drop Zone with Blazer veins. Can't hardly beat the setup! If you're not familiar with Blazers, have a look at them and you'll see why.

I totally agree, the TR Drop Zone with Blazers is easily THE best shooting combo I have ever seen. In fact, the majority of shooters I hunt and shoot 3D's with shoot this exact set-up.

trophy ridge? the worst company in all of archery! i'd bet my left nut i could beat the setup, but like they have stated the blazer vanes are nice.
anyway big ten, vane size shouldn't matter with your drop away and should be adjusted to your riser.forsmall to medium sized broadheads you can't hardly beat the blazzer, but if you're using a large head for largegame i'd recommend a feather in 4".

I changed nothing when I switched over to the Muzzy Zero Effect a few years back.

Drop aways are great and use them with the Blazer vanes. I was using a Whisker Bisquit and since I made the switch, I will never go back again! I don't have to refletch near as much as what I was with the WB. I have the NAP QuickTune 2000 and it does a good job.

I honestly can't believe I'm reading that right ?!? Would you please care to elaberate on WHY you believe that one of the biggest and most successful archery accessory manufacturers in the sport is the "worst company". [&:][:@]

I can only imagine what you'restory will be but I'm willing to bet that it's you general lack of knowledge of the product that has you misdirected.

Oh, and for the record, consider you "left nut"on thetable!
