Muzzy Zero Effect?
I'm fixing to buy a Bowtech MM and I am thinking of get a Muzzy ZE and have a few ? maybe you guys and gals can ansewer them. Is this a noisy rest and how well does it hold up it you shoot alot? Also will it decrease arrow speed? Also if you have one on a MM how did your installation go?

RE: Muzzy Zero Effect?
I've got a Mighty Mite with the MZE. It's a dream. Holds up very well. I've probably put a couple of thousand shots or so through it, and haven't had one single problem so far. I didn't notice and decrease in arrow speed, and the installation went very easily.
The best advice I can give you is to watch the entire installation video first, before trying to install it. Then, when ready to install, go back to the start of the installation part of the video, and have your remote control in hand. Then, install the rest step-by-step with the video, pausing the video after each step. It's really not hard at all. You do need a hacksaw and a file, though. And, remember that it's better to cut the connecting arm too long at first than too short at first...you can always cut more of it off, but you can't add more on. It's not really that hard at all. Good luck! You'll love the new rest, as well as the Mighty Mite.

RE: Muzzy Zero Effect?
BC25,
Rob's right I installed one on my Mighty Mite and another on my new Pro38 last week.
I also put one on my buddy's Tech29.
The Zero Effect is driven by the amount of cable slide travel each individual bow has......the Mighty Mite was a bit tricky because it has a VERY small measured slide travel......like 1.5" or so. This requires you to use one of the higher leverage positions on the rest. DO NOT JUST GO BY THE VIDEO WITH THIS BOW!!! Start with the main swing arm in the second hole, and the hook arm in the second hole down as well(then follow the video directions!)......if you use the first holes it WILL NOT WORK.
The 2nd holes gave me a perfect high and low position and the rest worked flawlessly for me. Line your arrow up dead level with your button holes on the riser......the arrow should sit directly in front of and level with these holes.....hiding them.
This rest is super quiet, accurate, and I haven't had to adjust a single thing in the nearly one year I've been using it! The ease of use and arrow flight will amaze you.
Speed should not increase if your bow was properly tuned with it's current rest......it should only decrease if you did something wrong with the installation such as tightening the main arm down too much.
If you have any other questions give me a yell.
