RE: Best drop-away for hunting
Greg, they make one called an SL, I believe... it stands for side load, so obviously it allows access from the side. Might be something to look at if that's a concern of yours and you wanna try one.
In fact, I think Jerry/NJ over on AT's got one of the SL's for sale, if he hasn't already sold it.

Cougar, I too wasnt keen on loading the arrow through it, but once I started using it, it's a none issue. Of course during hunting season, I load it from the front so I don't take the chance of hitting the string with the broadhead.
BulletHole, I was considering that rest till I found out the launcher was plastic. That and I'm not real fond of the launcher arms hitting the riser all the time and making noise. If I were to use another rest, it would probably be the Dropzone.

My preference would be the Muzzy ,it has a large hook that contain's your arrow and you nearly have to turn it upside down in order to have your arrow fall off . I swear by it .

I have been using the NAP quiktune 2000 for several years and haven't found a reason to change. I tried the Muzzy but didn't care for the extra bulkiness of it but it did shoot pretty nice. I like my bow very compact.
BTW I have the Muzzy for sale if anyone wants it.

I've had no issues with my QAD. Having said that, I have narrowed my choice of trying a new dropaway down to...........the MuzzyPC600 and am leaning heavily to trying the Golden Key TKO. Neither has the total containment of some other dropaways, but I hunted for 25 years without a dropaway. I like the launcher better on the TKO, similiar to a regular prong rest. And if I decide not to use a dropaway it converts to a regular rest. Pretty decent price too.
