It doesn't matter what a Muzzy cost. It's the best. When I bought mine it was something like $100 or $110 installed. I'd pay that and more to have it. I don't care what it cost.

I just don't agree. In my experiences, which admittedly are limited, they don't drop fast enough and we always had contact with the arm. It was a pain in the butinsky to tune, which we never accomplished and it ended up in the trash.

The MZE effect has three or more adjustment holes,I shoot a short fast Hoyt bow ,and have a long draw and really never had any issues with it dropping out of the way.If that is the case you can call Muzzy and they can talk you through the set up .One that I set up on a buds Matthews FX did have that problem,I then called Muzzy and they told me to use one of thee other adjustment holes then it worked great.It did hit the hand at first then after doing what they suguested it worked flawless.

to me it looks like a group of killbillies designed the zero-effect, anyone with a archery knowledge KNOWS that all those bolts and screws just arent fun to tighten after 100 shots

Mobo... you must have done something wrong. Len installed several HUNDRED of these. They had it down to a science so fine they knew with each bow exactly the length to cut the arm etc. NEVER, had one that didn't get out of the way. It should be gone LONG before a fletching gets near it. If there was ever a stickler for free floating flying unobstructed arrow flight it's Len. There just isn't any way you should have contact unless you got something else VERY wrong with your bow or set up. Like I say, I've had mine on for about 5 years. Nothing has come loose, the slide wore out but that's from several zillion arrows going down range. They upgraded the slide since I bought mine. The thing has never failed in a tree with a deer in the sights.

I've recently purchased a new Bowtech Allegiance, I''m using a drop away for the first time...the Trophy Taker Pronghorn new for 06...so far I am highly impressed.
