I agree, to a degree with you nubbb.(make sense?) My first MZE that I paid around 100 bucks for, is better constructed than my second. But then, I only paid 65(I think) for the second. Perhaps the pro shops are keeping the price up.

Both my MZEs work great. One is around 3.5 years old. The other, 8 months or so. I really prefer the threaded turnbuckle on the original, over the newer one.

By the way, was nub already taken when you registered? How did you come up with your user name? P.M if you prefer.

I can live with that.

Still, as a personal preference, I will not use any essential bow component that is made of a plastic composition, even for $50.00. Which includes sight pins, sight mounts, pin guards, etc.

When I bought a newer snowmobile I was always worried about the plastic skies. (Newer models are comming out with plastic skies to keep the weight down and supposedly they are stronger.) Well after a curb accident and a railroad accident where both bent a hole lot of metal up front I'm now convinced plastic has many faces. The skies should've broke both times but didn't.

I have the MZE and I love it! O yeah the moral of my story about crashing twice......Curbs and railroad tracks eat up Yamahas but cant touch plastic.......Don't hate plastic!

Mantis:

Big jump from arrow rest to snowmobile skis. However, for your safety, you might check some safety recall sites. Some snowmobile manufactures are recalling a bunch of certain plastic skis because the plastic is degrading and breaking. Appears that certain color additives are not good for certain plastics and some plastic skis are are being negatively affected by UV.

Nubbb and others. I posted a reply to your post on the bowsite thread and will try to duplicate most of that here. The materials used in our rest are not your ordinary "plastics" We use delrin and nylon for all the "plastic" materials on the rest. Delrin and nylon are actually bearing materials with high strength, long wearing capabilities. The material is stable to -60 degrees F and has been used and tested in extremes from - 40 to 120 degrees F. Molding and extrusion processes have been utilized by us in order to keep our manufacturing and production costs down that we have passed on to our customers. We have not experienced any substantial increase in the price of the rest since we introduced it. In fact, some of the rest models are actually lower in price. The bolts you are referring to were only a cosmetic problem and certainly not a performance or function problem. Due to the huge demand for the rest and the lead time to replace them, we utilized what we had in stock, but will no longer use that style bolt in our rests, due to their appearance. You can be assured that we will not do anything to the rest or any of our products that will degrade the performance or reliability of our products. We pride ourselves on our customer service and our money-back guarantee, of which we have not had to use very often. All of the aluminum parts are machined and are very precise, we have not changed anything with those. Any changes or modifications to our products are done to improve, we will not make any changes that will degrade the performance and durability of our products. Technical assistance is available from Muzzy and we are always glad to help anyone with any problems they maybe having. Comments and problems should be directed to us so we can be aware and handle them promptly. I am not always aware of threads that get on the internet forums, unless someone brings them to my attention. Thanks, Mark Land

What time has told me is that the Muzzy rest doesn't fail. going on 3 years now I think, no failures yet.. Mine has worked everytime..

What are your bows made from.... ALL STEEL???? I don't think so.....glue and glass and all sorts of alloys. Heck... your string is just string.[8D]

Get real!

Don't knock it unless you've tried it!

I've had my MZE for 2.5 years now, and put thousands of shots through it without one single problem. Right after I bought it, I went ahead and ordered a couple of extra hook arms, because I figured wear might be a problem with them being made of plastic and all. Well, I've still got those two hook arms in my equipment box, waiting on the original to wear out. Now, don't get me wrong. I do keep the hook arm covered in moleskin, which I'm sure is the main reason for the lack of wear. But, I've also snagged the hook on bushes and briars countless times, and it's always withstood the abuse.
