RE: do drop aways improve shooting
 

I had a biscuit on my Switchback, and then I switched to a MZE Zero Effect fall away rest. My shooting is tighter with the fall away. Although, I shot just fine with the biscuit. The main reason I switched to a fall away was my vanes were taking a beating after awhile from the biscuit. I do think the biscuit is a pretty safe choice however, for hunting purposes.

RE: do drop aways improve shooting
 

I shoot a fixed rest, my brother loves his drop away. My only issue is the cable attachment because when I'm charging through the woods elk hunting, it seems like another thing to catch on branches, brush, etc. My brother disputes this (he and I both hunt elk), but can you imagine the "horror" of finding cable problems when you're ready for your "moment of reckoning" and you have a rest issue?
