RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Keep em coming guys! I have been using a bisquit for years but I am seriously thinking about going to a drop away. Most likely a ripcord because of the full containment aspect

Ripcord Dropaway, Don't plan on changing

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Muzzy Zero Effect...I wont use anything else!

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Hairless I can't exactly vote correctly in the poll.

I wouldn't use anything else, and thats how I voted, however, I have had drop aways fail.

I have had issues with one QAD Ultra Rest Hunter, a few Ripcords, and even one Whammy. The ripcords are just junk if you ask me... nothing but negative encounters with them. There are several folks who use them with great success, and I wish them nothing but large deer and high scores. My experience has been different. The QAD I was able to remedy, or at least QAD remedied it for me. As did Spot Hogg.

I shoot a Schaffer off my Iron Mace, and while I didn't like it all that much at first (the arrow kept leaping off... course I was pulling a bit hard I suppose), it has really grown on me.. and I'm going to keep on with it. Off my Mathews LX, I have a QAD LD, and its another fantastic choice.

As far as arrow containment the vaportrail has none. the arrow can fall out at any time. its just a basic Y shape but nothing attaches to your cables/strings it attaches to the top limb hense the name Limbdriver. Containment would be a nice luxury but I dont find it necessary unless your shooting straight down (which I dont) the arrows stays on fine.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Ripcord flawess so far.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

I use the trophy ridge and have never had a problem with it. Of course now I will since I said something about it.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

This will make your drop away full containment. I have it on my bow and I absolutely love it. You push the arrow down into it, then when you draw, the arrow slides back and gently raises out of the arrow holder as your dropaway rises. With an arrow nocked, I can tilt my bow 360 degrees without the arrow leaving the string. $6 at most archery shops. I haven't had a single problem with it yet.

Does it matter how fast or slow your bow might be, for a drop away?

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Ultra Rest
Never Failed

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Joshua, I use the same thing with my Zero Effect to keep the arrow from jumping around.Without itmyarrow would simply lay right on the shelf.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Trophy Taker shakeyhunter. I Love it.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Wouldn't think of using anything other than my Zero Effect...

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

its never failed and i dont plan on it (knock on wood)

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

I'm using a ripcord and I've never had it fail me. I like it, but there is some new stuff out that I would like to try.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

2 Trophy Taker 's new Pronghorn w/ 0 failures.

I would however test the Limb Driver, I loved Matt / PA's.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Not sure if "failed" is the right word or not, but a couple of times it dropped slowly. Can't make it do it again, though. Maybe it was damp??
Anyway, I thought of switching for that reason, but that was 2 seasons ago, and no problems since.
QAD Ultra

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

i use a cobra diamondback drop-away

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Thanks guys. I will start looking this weekend I have a feeling. I am adding the muzzy rest to my list.

I bought a NAP quicktune 2000 in early 2003 to put on the Razortec I bought at the same time. It has performed flawlessly ever since and I see no reason to fix what ain't broken!:D

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

I guess I am surprised. I know of several dropaway failures and have experienced them myself, but didn't expect to see a 12% rate of failure among our posters here in HNI.

What I find interesting is that if a certain design of bow, or arrow, or release had a 12% rate of failure among users, no one would buy it even if it was the "cool" thing to have.................:eek:

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

I've had the muzzy on my last bowtech and it was the best money I ever spent on anything related to hunting. I wouldn't give it up for the world. Now I just purchased a guardian and the shop recomended that I don't put the muzzy on the guardian so I went with the trophy taker. I love this rest as well. I tried the prong style drop aways but the always sprang up too fast knocking my arrows clean off. I switched to the trophy taker and never looked back. These two have to be my favorites out of all the one's I have tried.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

never had a problem

drop zone by trophy ridge

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Had my QAD Ultra on 2 bows, now......no problems, ever.

Thousands of shots through it.....

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

My Muzzy would never let me down.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Muzzy Zero Effect... It's new and I haven't hunted with it yet. But I can't see anyway for it to fail!

No failures in Practice..superb clearance. Glad Greg/Mo did such a great review on it. It made me give it a look.

Very easy to put on andset-up! Great instructional Video included.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

SAME HERE

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Trophy Taker Pronghorn, and now just switched to the full capture of the Xtreme FC Rest. Both work great without any problems.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

I'll actually be installing the Zero effect this weeked. Hopefully it will be the last rest I will ever buy.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Original trophy taker, the rest didn't fail, but the cord that is served into the string had a problem. The cordhad a mushroom on the end of it and I guess was brittle and broke off one time.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

QAD Ultra Rest. Flawless performance. Couldn't imagine anything being better. Have no plans of using anything else anytime in the forseeable future.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

GKF Mirage. SUCKS! The cord catches on the rest some times. Bought it with a bow for the kid. Glad I never bought one out right.I have a different model, ithas never failed.

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Never had one fail on my hunting bow(Trophy Taker) But I did have one goat a Tournament with my target bow!

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

Qad ultra rest-the best dropaway on market in it's price range or any price for that matter. Mine has worked from 100 degrees to -3!

RE: Has your drop away ever failed?
 

i use T.R. drop zone no failures, no noise...... I now use the 07 model on my xt because it has a lower profile and fits under the roller guard better which centers on my berger hole better....I want to try the limbdriver next how is that working for you guys out there???
