Increase arrow speed with fall aways?
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?

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.

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.
