RE: Which rest do you prefer...dropaway or not?
Ok I am hearing every rest on the MARKET!!!!!!!!!! JESE!
I have picked up the Vital Bow Gear Fall Away Rest. I mean you can' t believe this, I have no words . . . 1st of all it is sooo silent you can hear your cams roll, 2nd it has a little lok that holds ur arrow whenever u pull ur arrow back from shooting. Hey take a look at this website, give it a look and if ur smart you' ll give it a chance. I am just trying to say, it is the # 1 seller and Vital Bow Gear is a brand New COmpany. Just trying to help u out bro

I' m using the NAP 2000 quicktune dropaway. I like the fact that I can shoot with any style, length or fletching configuration and not have to concern myself with fletching contact.

Depends on the cam system.
On singlecam bows with some nock travel issues (i.e. notstraightline types) I find the added guidance of a conventional rest is superior.
On duals, Hybrids, and straightline types, drop-aways work well.
That said, after shooting drop-aways for a year or, I still prefer the extra guidance of a non-dropaway regardless of cam type. Despite all the advertising to the contrary I find conventional rests more forgiving, and some of the fall-aways can be a real pain in the butt to set-up. If they fail in the field for some reason, I' d rather just be able to slap on a new coventional rest, set the centershot, launcher height,spring tension & start shooting: which takes very little time.
I' m a fan of the NAP 1000 & 3000' s as well as the Golden Key Premier series.

I just bought the QS Whisker Biscuit and put it on my bow in preperation for the Sept. 1 season here in DE. I was a bit skeptical switching away from my Gold Key but have been totaly pleased with my groups during practice. I cant wait to try it in a hunting situation.

I have the Tropy Ridge Drop Zone, Quite as a mouse, Easy to Tune... I am shooting Bullet holes in the paper every time... Real Sweet Rest Flawless other then the price, but I think it' s worth it...
