Looks pretty tall to me. If your fletching will clear that you probably don't need a drop a way.

Also I believe most drop aways come with an arrow holder or guide.

Good luck on your product though, I know some that would be interested it in.

I personally use two small diameter shafts about an inch long under some mole skin. Works pretty good for me.

I have one on my bow...they have been out for a while. Just not as bulky. How does it work for you?

If you use a Muzzy Zero you don't need one.:D That said, my only thought of negative possibilities would be if the felt got wet from rain or snow in cold weather and froze??? Just brainstorming. I do like the idea of the felt and if the rubber is substantially softer it could only help.

It works perfectly and everyone out there so far that has purchased one has loved it as well. The material that is supplied with most drop away rests are simply something to keep the arrow lined up with the rest but if you tilt the bow it will slide off. With this one you can turn the bow upside down and not lose the arrow. Plus it stays as flexible in freezing temps . It looks bulkier than it actually is . Come to think of it , it actually acts like a vibration suppressor as well because it is made from very flexible rubber (hmmmm) Thanks for the comments.

I have a diamondback and have the holder in front. I can turn my bow upside down and shake it and my arrow is not coming off. You can get them for like 5 bucks.

Yes , with the cats cradle , you can turn it upside down but it will release upon shaking as the rubber is soft. I wanted it that way so that the arrow wouldn't struggle out of it when drawn back and then pop up possibly off of the rest. ;)

Antlerchaser:

How does it attach to the bow? Is it an adhesive?

The only reason that I ask is if a customer puts it on his bow before he fine tunes it and finds that he needs to adjust his rest right or left (new arrows, new rest, new broadheads, etc..), then he would need to move his cats cradle.

Just a suggestion, but perhaps an industrial strength velcro attachment would allow for movement?

Just wondering if you have made it in different sizes to accomodate thinner arrows like Easton Axis?

It attaches with doublesided foam tape because of it's great holding power and flex. The velcro would work for removal and repositioning but I think it would be too bulky and thick but perhaps not. I have some of the industrial kind your talking about. Thanks for the suggestion. I learn alot from feedback.

It will work for them. I have them set so they are tight for larger diameter and that makes them loose for thinner arrows. I can tighten then up more as well. If you want to try one out , let me know. ;)
