My local pro shop dealer told me the other day that he gained 10 fps when he went to a drop zone rest because with a fall away you loose all of the friction between arrow and rest. Have any of you ever noticed anything like this?

I have heard the same thing but I have never actually tried it to see for myself. I guess it would be possible but i don't know about 10fps. Maybe?

I don't think that a fall away rest make's this kind of difference,maybe a couple fps but no more than that. MAYBE

I tried the NAP 2000 a couple years ago. I was shooting 276fps before installing the Nap dropaway. I was shooting 278fps after installing it!

I switched from a whisker biscuit to a drop zone this last year and picked up about 5 fps.

Fall away is not going to give any speed gain you'd notice. Even chrono readings can vary a bit from shot to shot without changing anything so diffeences of 3fps are nothing. As for gaining 5fps over a wWhisker Bisquit, it's not so much that you gained, but that the bisquit was slowing you down that much, which is very common.

On my TKO ,I gained about 3 feet per second over my TM Hunter.

This rest is super.

The only way a person would gain 10 fps with a fallawy is if the standard rest had some major fletching contact problems,period.


You may gain 1-2 fps but I have never seen a difference from one to the next.The key is being properly tuned with both.

Thats what I thought. I figured 3 or 4 fps but not 10. It sounded like an awful lot so I figured I would ask before I dissmissed it. Thanks.

Yeah, 10fps is a little on the high side.
