I've never noticed a benefit in my shooting. But IF I were going to put one on today, it would be Trophy Ridge Dropzone.

I've tried the Trophy Taker and the NAP Quicktune.. Both were great, but I noticed no increase in accuracy.

I hear the Muzzy Zero Effect is very good, but dang that thing is ugly

I agree with DC that the DZ is a rest that should not be overlooked. It was simple to set up, is consistent and quiet. I've been shooting it a year and a half and have had no issues to date with it.

I use a Muzzy ZE on my Outback and love it.

Lx, you just opened up a huge can of worms with this one.

I have used the NAP Quick Tune 4000, TR Drop Zone and currently use the QAD Ultra Rest. I have also setup a Trophy Taker on my friend's bow. I think all of them are very nice. The QT4000 is probably out because it uses a cable slide as does the Muzzy ZE. I picked the QAD because of the total containment it offers. I don't have to worry about my arrow falling off of the rest when stalking or drawing back. I had to increase the spring pressure to make sure it moved out of the way faster but that only took 20 minutes.

Yes the drop away is the craze these days and that why I went to a Deluxe Biscuit rest. My accuracy was not any better with the drop away rests then with the Biscuit and it is fool proof. K.I.S.S.

It might be as accurate at 20 and under yards get beyond that and your lil bisquit won't cut it.

Ditto---went from the zero effect, which was too complicated and bulky o the Trophy Ridge. More simple, and smaller--works great!

Here's another vote for the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone! It's the best rest I've ever used!
