Default fall away rest??

Awhile back i bought a bow and on it is a Golden Key - Hunter Supreme arrow rest.

Has anyone heard of these things and what style of fletching should i use? (up, down or out)

~The arrows that came with the bow were Easton xx75 2315-lite.All but one werecock-feather out.

So far so good. Keep the rest you have till you have more experience. Are you shooting fingers or release? If fingers then a drop away isn't going to work. Shoot featers with cock vane out. That's none o'clock if you're right handed.

You can always make changes as time goes on and you gain more knowledge.

well, i have a little experience under my belt. i've been shooting for about 5 years but i'm now starting to actually learn about what i'm shooting.

any ideas for a cheap drop away?
can i shoot odd feather out with a drop away? (i'd rather not have to re-do my arrows)
