Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

I purchased a drop away for my bow and it was a nap quicktune 4000 micro adjustable. The piece of junkwanted to shoot about 2 feet low from 20 to 30 yrds and i know its not the bow. so i messed with it for a few hours and my grandpa's archery shop ... him and i both, and it still was crap... so what do you think?

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

I strongly stand by drop aways. I have noticed an extreme difference in accuracy with them. It all also depends on what kind you buy as well. I took me three to find the one that I liked the best.

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.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Drop aways are not the cure all to arrow flite problems or bow tuning. I have been playing around with differnt models and each has it's own set of "issues" I have not tried one of the NAP rests but see what I can do to get one for evaluation. Things to watch for are the cord and how fast the rest drops. Sometimes the cord can get in the way or have to much slack cuasing the rest to not raise up enough. You can also have it come up to far and point the arrow skyward. Most rests seem to have adjustments for this. I know NAP's reputation and I would say that it's probably not the rest it'self, but improper instalation or bow tuning causing your problems. You may want to give NAP a call and see if they can help you out.

I had a NAP 4000 on my bow for two years without a bit of trouble. Very easy to set up and tune. Also very strong, durable rest to boot. I would say that its something you are doing wrong with the setup. Believe me, I had the same problem with my Trophy Taker until I realized I was being a lunkhead when putting it on. Once I realized what I was doing wrong, it shoots perfectly now.

Love my Trophy Taker!

whisker biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Well i messed with the stuiped thing and i actually went through the directions doing it exactly how it said to do it and it was still messed up ..... so i just changed to an HHA Technaglide, its about the same as a bododle. The thing is a shoot compition and the much drop on an arrow doesnt hel much !

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

That you and pop don't know how to set up a dropaway;)

Why do you think it was shooting low?

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Trophy Taker is what I hear the best reviews on, and I have shot a couple before and like them. That is what I am going with.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Well then - you havn't hear my review..............or BM's have you;):D

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Rack, what do you like?

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Not much.............LOL:D

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;)

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Hmmmm, maybe;)

Thanks for the info Rack:)

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

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.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

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! :D...........fishon

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

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!

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

There's only one left for you.... MZE :D I know it ain't the prettiest...but it works awesome[8D]

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

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.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

I have tried, trophy taker, drop-zone, quicktune 2000, and I am currently using a Dalton 2000 drop-away. The dalton is by far the best for my extreme vft!

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

What is the price tag on one of those Daltons?

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

I' ve found most of my bow tuning problems are the result of a loose screw behind the peep.;)

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Can you say "Muzzy Zero Effect"? It's what all the others want to and are trying to match. None have done it.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

The 2000 goes for about $45 and the 6000 goes for around 70.00 I believe

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

OVERRATED!!!

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Love my Trophy Taker it's been faithful for 3 years now .

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

My thoughts exactly.

RE: Drop Away Rests, What do you think?
 

Moleskin may not do the trick. It helped on my rest but didn't solve the problem. I got some Dynomat(from car stero shop). This is probably the best sound deadening material in the world. It only takes a little scilence that rest for good.(same theroy as moleskin only better product.)
