EVERYONE PLEASE STAND AND GIVE RACK A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS FINALLY HAD A POST WHERE HE ISN' T RANTING!!!!!!!


Glad to see things are starting to come together for you. The 03 Pat SC is a sweet shooter when you get the right combo of accessories. That is what the man who set-up my bow shoots, and that thing is awsome. It is his hunting bow and he has recently started taking it to 3-D shoots because it is just as accurate as his target bows.

But, I must ask, with all the troubles you have had with drop-away rests, why not buy a quality prong rest, like what I use, a N.A.P. QuickTune 3000 micro?

You must REALLY LOVE THAT TINKERING

I bought a drop zone a couple of weeks ago and already sent it back to trophy ridge. It tuned great but after 100 or so shots my groups started opening up and I noticed my fletchings tearing from contact. Played with it and things only got worse, finally the arm broke off after about 200 or so shots. The rest needs a stronger spring and beefed up cradle arm. I was really dissapointed in it and I have two of their sights and love them. I went with the ZE this time.

Come on BM - that would be too easy. But I have asked myself that 100 times - I am stubborn and an ingrate. One of these days I will wise up
besides I have that rest and a few others like it - they work great - whats the fun of setting them up

go with a MZE its by the best out there

I have been shooting the Drop Zone since May. It has had 300-400 arrows a week put over it. To date, it has been reliable and quiet.

I havn' t shot any real heavy arrows over it though. It has worked well with arrows ranging from 370-420 grains.

My rest has no play when at full draw.

Hope this helps some.

Just when I call the local bowtec dealer to see how much they' d charge to properly install my TT on my mightymite (I couldn' t quiet get there) I read this!!
Rack dumped the TT [], tired of fooling with it?????

Good thing they weren' t open yet!!!!! looks like I will once again stick to my WB.


About the drop zone, I' ve read it doesn' t do dirt very well, so keep it out of the dust! (my lease roads are nothing but dust in the dry months, so it' s not an option for me)
