I have not tried that one, but it's on my list of things to do. I have tried the Muzzy zero effect, TT shakey hunter and the Golden key TKO and the APA twister. All of these rests have performed well. Each has it's own little quirks but have proven to be reliable and work well once you understand them.

I liked the design and function of the drop zone. I think it would be a good choice for the Outback. But, as 5shot stated, there are also a variety of other dropaways that should "fit the bill". You may also consider the NAP Quicktune dropaway rest as I believe it is offered in a model specifically for the roller guard Mathews bows.

Another vote for the Drop Zone. I've got one and it works as advertised. I did a bit of forum research prior to buying and found that they generally had the least number of negative comments posted about them. It seems most everyone gets the Drop Zone working successfully.

I like my trophy taker but the drop zone looks like a good one also!

I have a DZ on my Liberty. Has worked flawlessly so far.

When I used drop-aways, my preference was those that used magnetic holdings.:D

I've considered the Drop Zone for my Patriot, but after seeing the arm on a couple of them that had gotten bent fairly easily, I've chosen to hold off for now. Besides, I haven't totally given up on the Vital Bow Gear drop away yet. If I can get it tuned, it will be the ultimate fall away hunting rest.

After popping in and out of bowhunting forums while researching drop aways-I also went with the Drop Zone. Just got it and haven't put it on the Q2 yet. Haven't heard any complaints with the arm bending-its recessed within the housing when not in use and got an arrow on it in use-seems not easily bent. Will be taking the mathews micro rest off only because I want a more secure arrow launcher in hunting conditions and the drop away seems to offer a more forgiving release.

You guys will be very pleased wih your DZ's. They are truly excellent rests that I feel have improved my game, especially my b-head shooting. Super easy to set-up and tune and most importantly, once set-up it stays that way. Just a great, quiet shooting rest. I've been using a few DZ's for over a year now and have not experienced any problems with any of them. Currently, I'm using the DZ Hunter on my Turkey rig and coouldn't be happier with it.
