Default Arrow Rests..which should i choose.

Looking to replace the simple, but effective rest I have. I shoot aluminum arrows with broadheads. Fletch clearance has not been a problem, but I might someday switch to carbon arrows. Any thoughts on rests you guys have/have used that you recommend or don't recommend? Thanks for the help. Oh yeah this is mostly a hunting bow but do shooot a little 3D.

PA.
Last year I used the Bodoodle Pro Lite and found it to be a very good rest I never had and fletching problems on my Gold Tip carbons with a 6 degree right helical.
This year I am using the Muzzy ZE and have found it to be a great rest.

NAP Quicktune 4000 on a Mathews FX with 2213 Easton arrows, Simms Limbsavers, and Simms Modular Stabilizer. I can't tell you how smooth and quiet my set up is. OR ACCURATE!

PAbearman, hate to sound like a broken record, but the NAP 4000 is on all my bows. I've had great success setting up and tuning them.

Ok Ok I'll buck the trend and say Muzzy! The zero effect is an awesome rest. I couldn't believe how much better I shot with it right out of the gate. Sturdy and effective...check them out.

I looked at the quicktune, how's the fletch clearance with carbon arrows?

Thanks all for the responses.

The GKF Shootout Is the best containment rest on the market
but the very best fallaway on the market today IMO is the Mirage and at the fraction of the cost of the M rest
I could buy 2.I take that back I think as soon as they hit the shelves thr GKF power drop will make most all other Fall away rests OBSOLETE!

I will go against Big Papa, the Muzzy is the best. You get complete arrow containment with the MZE as opposed to the TM style forks on the Power Drop. With the Muzzy there is no chance of the arrow &quot;Bouncing &quot; off the rest at just the wrong time.
