RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
I jumped up and bought a Vital Bow Gear fall away and so far have been very unimpressed. So I put a Quicktune 3000 on and was shooting bulletholes in 6 shots. So far, I'm not convinced.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
Tried the NAP Drop Away rest and the role pin they use on the bottom side flew out. Installed another pin. Not very tight on the tolerances on the machining in my opinion.
Drop Zone on one bow now. Best rest for me. This thing is solid, makes NO noise (after adding a little mole skin), easy to install and tuned my BH's in with my field points in no time.
Have a Trophy Taker on my Patriot Dually. This bow is 30.5" draw, and 75#. It is zippin' 400 gr. arrows well over 300 fps and I have no flight problems at all. BH's are tuned in and smackin w/ my field points. Only thing I don't like is the noise I get from that tongue hitting the shelf, even when I have about 4 layers of mole skin on the shelf.
In all honesty, I don't think I can say that I've got ant better performance out of ANY drop away rest than I did with the ol' TM style rests. We just cannot help ourselves, we need to try that new thing out there, whatever it happens to be. The best benefit I actually see to the drop away rests I've used is the arrow holder on the bow shelf. The fact that these things hold an arrow on the shelf quietly the way they do is the biggest bang for the buck, so to speak. JMNSHO

I dont like em for the same reason i dont like expandable broadheads. My thinking is the more little mechanical things that there are on your bow, the more there is that can go wrong when you draw back on that monster buck. But that's just my opinion.
