RE: which is the king of the hill in drop away rest
I love my MIRAGE!
I killed a gobbler on Thursday and had to jockey around in the blind a tad and never once did I have to look to see if my arrow was ready. Just draw and you never have to break your concentration to see if your arrow is on the tongs. |
RE: which is the king of the hill in drop away rest
There are a couple of different ways to approach this question.
First off, the Muzzy Zero Effect and Trophy Taker are probably the two most popular drop away rests. Ofcourse, there is a reason for that popularity and it usually is based on performance, reliability, durability, consistancy and ease of use. This can be somewhat misleading though as I cannot think of one person who installed a Zero Effect for the first time and called it " easy" ...:). Some of the new drop aways on the market like the GKF Powerdrop and the Trophy Ridge DropZone also seem to be gaining a following....though I also still enjoy using the MBG Trapdoor as well. |

PABowhunter. not to argue with you but I have installed a MZE on two of my bows and couldn' t have had it any easier. If you just follow the instructions on the video it should be a breeze. My first time setting one up was on a Diamond Recon. I followed the video, then eyeballed the horizontal setup in and my first 3 shots were perfect bulletholes. Done and ready to hunt. My second time was my present set up on my Q2. My first shot, slight right tear, 2nd shot a little better and the 3rd shot perfect. Done and ready to hunt. I am sure that not everyone had it that easy but it was a breeze for me. I know another guy who had his set up pretty quickly also. I thought that the video, over reading, made it a whole lot easier. Just my experience. Like I said, not trying to argue with ya Pa, just relaying my experience. My buddy and I who set it up with me were shocked at how easy it was. To be honest I was a little intimidated at first. It looked like it would be a bear. But I was pleasantly surprised.

I use the NAP QT 2000 and love it :D

I just installed a new mirage on bow last week. And it was as easy as a normal rest except I had to tie a string on the cable.
Pretty easy if you ask me. As far as the reliability of it, I have relied on folks like btomlin to see how theres went. And as long as the arrow is on the shelf, the rest will grab it, just like the MZE. |

I' m having good luck with the NAP 4000s. I also got a Plainsman to try out. Very nice machining, and solid.

NAP Quicktune 4000 . . . works great for me!
Less expensive than many others, 15 minutes to set up and improves accuracy significantly. Well worth the price. |

I currently have a MZE and love it. I thought that the setup was pretty easy. Of course I set bows up all the time since I work in an archery shop...:D
I plan on trying the dropzone when my new LX gets in. Although I have no real problems with the MZE, the dropzone just seems much " cleaner" to me. There are no external parts unless you count the string, and the arrow rest itself goes down into a recessed area to stay protected. I like the idea of being all aluminum too. |
RE: which is the king of the hill in drop away rest
I use the MZE and have no complaints about it.
I also have the " plainsman" I am tinkering with it on my back up bow. It was easy to install and as Phil said very good machining. So far I have not had any tuning problems with it and so far it is turning out to be a good rest I just hope that this rest gets a following;):D even tho it is the new kid on the block as far as rests go. Try it you just might like it;) |
