I shot a muzzy zerro effect on a hoyt power tech and love it. I also shoot a quick tune 2000 on a hoyt excell and love it. Out of the two, I like the muzzy because once itis on and tuned (which is real easy to do), it needs n tweeking. The quick tune and the like that use a cable/string attached to the cable or string guide needs to be watched. I had my cable come lose one day while out in the field. I hear great things about the drop zone. Only problem with that is they are still rather expensive. I bought my last Muzzy for a friends bow on ebay for $40.00. The drop zone has been going for $75.00 at the cheepest.

Are their any problems with arrow containment when drawing or when letting down with any of the rests mentioned? Has anyone had any experience with the napquicktune drop-aways, and how do you like them as well. Thanks so much for the replies, and keep em' coming. Bhuntere32.

I shoot the Trap Door[align=center]Trap Door Mach 4 Arrowrest[/align]







The world's only inertia activated fall-away arrowrest is internally triggered by bow inertia or a bowstring release. Falls away 66% faster for even less contact and less friction. Machined-aluminum body with vertical and horizontal gang adjustments. Black. Right hand only.

I used the NAP Quick Tune 4000 on my last bow. It was easy to setup, quiet and I never had a problem with it. The only problem I can see with it is the fact that it uses a cable slide to actuate the rest. The slide on the new parrallel limb bows doesn't move as much so it might be harder to setup.

I currently use a QAD Ultra Rest and I really like it. It is quiet, fast and has full containment. I like the full containment feature as I do a lot of still hunting after I get down out of my stand. It's also kind of stupid proof during the draw. The arrow can't fall off of the rest. I'm sure a lot of people have had an arrow with a broadhead fall of the rest while drawing and had to let down to put it back on. Kinda scary.[&:]

Are their any problems shooting thr blazers fletched right at 4 degrees off of a non drop-away like say the nap quiktune 3000 micro? I will be shooting goldtip 7595's. It sounds like their are alot of good drop-aways, and that everyone has their personal favorites. Thanks to all. Bhunter32.

I personally don't think you have to switch to a drop away to shoot good. If your set up is tuned properly a shot thru rest will perform fine or a containment rest like the Biscuit. The drop aways do work well and if you really want to switch I found the MZE to be the best that I used out of 5 or 6 different ones..Sometimes its just nice to try something new so good luck...

I have used the Muzzy Zero Effect for the last 4 years on my Parker Bow. Absolutely love it, has never failed me whether I'm shooting bucks,does and even a bear in '03. Having one less thing to worry about makes me a better shooter. Reliable and consistent.
