all i hear now a days is to use a whisker or a drop/fall away.....

will this actually help accuracy of a shooter??take away human error and assume bow is fine tuned...will this shoot better groups than a two prong style rest??? if so, why?? i ask because i shoot the two prong and everyone i talk to uses a whisker or drop away, but before i choose one or the other i want to know based on your guys experience or knowledge in this subject is it ACTUALLY better???

thanks,
Josh

The same guy whois still using treebark Would be my guess. My back up bow has one

wow, your old schoolj/k i just love the WB cause i dont have to worry about my arrow coming off and it is a great rest IMO

I use the 2 prong style arrow rest and it will take more than popularity to convince me to switch away from it. I love it.

Many target shooters still prefer a non-dropaway rest, and some hunters as well. If you can stack arrows with a prong type rest, I wouldn't worry about switching unless its something you just wanna try. This coming from a guy that switched to dropaways. My accuracy is no better nor worse with a dropaway. I think the biggest advantage is that many dropaway rests offer better containment. The biggest reason I switched to a dropaway is because of my desire to shoot the smaller diameter arrows such as Easton Axis and my current A/C Superslims. Funny, but one of the best dropaways I have tried is the Schaffer prong dropaway rest[8D].

Hey watch it now..I love treebark!

Actually I just switched from a 2 prong to a Muzzy zero effect..shot the first arrows yesterday..so I was old school for a long while..

i am glad it is just not me being old school....besides containment of the arrow i just couldn't think logically of why i should switch other then wanting to try something new...

thanks guys!

You got that right. The 2-prong rest is my favorite hunting rest. I use the carbon prongs that I modify so that the arrow rides on the sides of the prongs not the points. My felt lasts forever that way. I shoot a big arrow (2413) and can tilt my bow 90 degrees without the arrow falling off of the rest.

One of the big attractions of the drop away for me was being able to shoot helical fletchings again. My 3-D target bow still has a prong rest and my spot bow has an old school original (Inertia) drop away that is about 15 years old now. No need to change them becasue there's no need to shoot helicals on a target shaft. The added stability for broadheads is nice though.

I have used Easton A/C/C's for over 6 years and I have been using a 2 prong rest for about 15 years. I will never switch to a dropaway for the same reason I will never use a mechanical broadhead... if it moves it can fail. Why introduce another variable into an equation?
