I use the QAD ultra rest. It is a total containment rest, so you don't have to worry about the losing the arrow off the rest when in the tree stand. Very quiet, look into one.

I Have A Drop Zone And Love It. It Is Quiet, Durable And Easy To Tune. However, I Have Heard Alot Of Good Things About The Muzzy As Well. Good Luck!

Check out the Muzzy Zero Effect it's a great rest and very easy to install yourself after you've watched the instructional video.

Why don't you have a look at APA Archery's Twister Safari. It is a drop away and containment rest all in one. Cavalier also makes a good drop away rest.

Check out the APA Twister. Total containment drop away that is simple to set up. www.apaarchery.com

I'm in the market for a new bow by this summer and am interested in a drop away rest as well. I hear great things about the TT shakey hunter, but would am not sold on a rest that has a cord to be served in. A buddy of mine shoots a Trap Door rest and loves it. I'm leaning that way for now, but am not totally decided. Here's the website:

I'd like to thank everyone that responded for your input.The link to the thread about rests that was provided was a big help.I looked at ever rest that was provided on that thread and think I can make my decision now.I'm going to go with the Vital Bow Gear rest.There is a local dealer here that sells them and I also think I will swallow my pride and have him install it aswell.This bow hunting hobby is down right expensive.I think will have to compromise and let Mrs Shed buy a new couch as I will be needing a place to sleep in the not to distant future.

I used the NAP QT2000 drop away for a couple of years...and liked it fine. Just recently switched to the QAD Ultra...I like it better. The total-containment feature is great..and the fact that the rest/arrow doesn't drop if you have to let-down...much less chance of making noise.
I covered mine w/moleskin for an extra measure...
Good luck!

There are probably fifteen different drop aways out there. Ten just in the Cabela's catalog. If you are as lucky as I am and have a great pro shop to consult with, shoot as many different drop aways as you can then pick the one that works for you. Good hunting and god bless

I have the drop zone by Trophy Ridge. Although I have just recently installed this on my new Diamond bow, I have had nothing but positive results.

I'll take my quicktune 800 and if I want to make it full containment I'll wrap a small rubber band from one post nut over the arrow and onto the next post nut. If you can hear it drop (as soon as you begin to pull it back) you've got better ears than a deer. Beside anyone can pull back a bow and shoot a deer, but the good stories have that extra edge like having the arrow off the rest while drawing back your bow (be sure to pause long enough at this part so the picture will sink in) especially when your grilling them.
