Not much.............LOL

I have not found a drop away that has really impressed me yet. I am currently using a drop zone and its O.K.

I have not yet - in all my infinite limited wisdom - 100% solved fletching clearance issues with any dropaway I have used.

Well I have................But the setup did not allow the braodhead tune I expect from my bows - so that point is mute

Of course the rests could be great........and the bow and shooter are junk

I have tried many of the more popular models and am not entirely sold on them either. I found some specific issue with each of the models I have tried. I am still open to trying them though and will hopefully find one I am comfortable using.

I'm wondering what kind of fletching you're using with that Drop Zone? I have 5" shield cuts with as much helical as I could get on the shaft and I haven't experienced any contact - yet.

Trophy taker's don't drop fast enough!!!!
Take a quick tune 1000 and convert it to a fallaway.... That's the best one IMO and easy to do! ...........fishon

I used to shoot a Nap Quiktune 3000 shoot through style rest. I didn't have any problems with it. Had it tuned pretty well. Now, I have a Trophy Ridge Dropzone which I can't say anything bad about. I like it, but still think I want to get the Muzzy Zero Effect. I read nothing but good things about this rest!

I love fall aways for hunting, they simply work for me. They do not work for everyone. Honestly to me it sounds like something is not setup correctly on your bow. I would contact NAP & talk to one of their Techs. They will help you out, they are known for great customer service! You can also take it to a archery shop that has experience setting up fall aways.

If the rest is not setup correctly you can experience all kinds of things just as you mentioned. The rest will perfrom but it has to be setup correctly or it will not.

Good luck.
