Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

What can I say, the new "Next Generation Muzzy Zero Effect" may be the best rest I have had the privilege of using!

The flawless performance of the MZE even with the ultra short cable slide travel of the Tribute is remarkable. The MZE's launcher armhad more travel then I expected it would and dropped plenty fast enough even with the arrow traveling 310+ FPS.

The rest is relatively light and its action is repeative perfection as the launcher arms pickup / drop is controlled via the bows cables upon draw and release.

I suggest anyone searching for a new drop away to take a serious look at Muzzy's newest offering. They ( The Next Generation's) are a step above the MZE's of the past.

Did you have to drill into the cable slide block to attach it? I went and picked up my Tribute just to see, and I can't tell how you've "tied into" that part...

Wait a minute; I scrolled back up... that'sa completely new cable slide. Never mind, I figured it out.

Glad to see it's working so well for you!

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

yeah, i'll either be getting one of those for the patriot or going with prongs this year. i believe i'm done with anything with a cord. i've just decided its not a good idea to have something tugging on something else.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

I think I will be trying one of these as well on my next hunting bow.

Good information Buckeye....

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

Buckeye,
I've always been a fan of the Zero Effect and used them for a few years but bailed with the pain in the butt tuning and jerry rigging to get it to JUST work with the parallel limb, short slide travel bows I've been using.

What makes this one any different than the other "regular" version?

I see the overdraw has been removed (which I did anyway) but what allows it to have the necessary leverage to work properly? From outward appearances it looks the same?

Does it get the launcher up to the rest mounting hole height and then down below shelf level?

I'd like to use one again on at least one of my bows but want to understand it a little better.

Matt -

While I have not hands on seen or played with one, I know they have a specific model in this new line up that is made exclusively for short ata - parallel limb bows. I read quite a bit about it before it was released over on the "other" site. I am pretty sure that this is what Buckeye has on his tribute.....they were claiming that this new model will eliminate all the problems associated w/ the short cable slide travel parallel limb bows. I will probably be selling the dropzone I have to get my hands on one of these in the next few days.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

I have one waiting to try on my Patriot as we speak. I'm just tired of hassling with the VBG Ultimate fall away. I never could get total clearance with it no matter how hard I tried.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

Just my 2 cents but I think Muzzy just needs to stick to making broadheads. I've seen that rest before in catologs and thought it was the stupidest looking thing that I've even seen, too bulky and weird. I don't know because I don't own one and probably never will but Muzzy broadheads are tops on my list.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

doesn't matter what it looks like

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

True.........I told you it was just my 2 cents. lol Good luck with it and I hope you get the monster of your life. Good hunting and be safe.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

shoulda said i agree about the looks, but there are just way too many people i hold in high regard that use that rest, and swear by it.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

It does look the same as the other muzzy rests,maybe the attachment block is a bit different,and it looks like the cable slide block is a different material than the others but the same rest.An excelent rest BTW:D.PSEmuzzy,These rest's are the real deal,they may look funny to you,but what compound bow doesn't;)?Try one sometime ,and if it is set up correctly on your bow,I would bet you would never try another.They are also extreamly simple to set up and tune.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

I just installed one on my Hoyt last night. Can't wait to tune it in. I'm so excited, no more cords for me.......

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

The rest feels lighter to me to start with. Also, as you mentioned they removed the useless overdraw.

The new pivot arm is shorter as well compared to the old one. I believe it allows for more movement within the 1 1/4" of cable slide movement of the Tribute because the pivot arm is on a greater angle downward then the old ones allowing more lift in such a short stroke.

On the Tribute you have to use the second hole in on the pivot arm to get the lift you need. There is no thirdhole like the old MZE.

Yes, it will go above the mounting hole and drop below the top of the shelf if you have your "stop screw" turned almost all the way out on the pivot arm.

I have mine set up for the center of my arrow to be inline with the center of the mounting screw.

All I can say is the Zero effects is the best rest I have ever used. Ive tried pretty much all of them, or a version of most all of them and have yet to find one better than a Zero effects.

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

Thanks Buckeye - I was thinking of the next Gen. for my next setup. Your recommend. and others all have had about the same to say about it. The less the arrow has to do with the rest the better. ;)

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

PSEMuzzy, I used to think the same thing. When I first saw the ZE I thought it looked really odd and figured that it was too complicated and had too much stuff to go wrong. Then I read more about it and heard the great luck guys had with it, and how relatively easy it was to set up and tune, so I thought what the heck and tried one. That was about7 years ago. My Outback is the 3rd bow of mine that wears one and probably will always be on my bows. I know that alot of new ones have come out since I bought my first one, but I just can't change. Looks are deceiving!!

RE: Tribute and Next generation Muzzy Zero Effect
 

I guess looks are deceiving. By the sound of all these others I'm definately sold on it I guess. Going to ask around at the next bow shoot for someone who is using one if I could take a closer look and if I like what I see, I just might try one out. Currently using the Whisker Biscuit and I'm usually a guy from the old school, if it's not broke why fix it....Thanks guys.
