I don't think there is a better drop away for hunting than the APA Twister Safari. Total arrow containment and total silence. I used it all of this past season and it worked perfectly. It's nice not having to worry about where your arrow is on the rest when you pick up the bow.

How is it as far as fletching clearance?
And quietness on the shot?

D.Parsons,

Fletching clearence is very easy to obtain I've found. If setup correctly, the rest does not need to twist very far to obtain clearence. I have shot Blazers mostly though it without any issues.

As far as quietness. It definitely ranks right up there with the MZE and also the TR Dropzone.Like those rest, there is not a launcher banging down against the riser to make noise. I have had many, many people comment on how quiet my Allegiance is with this rest.

I use a Cobra Diamondback and like it. Im not sure if it is the best drop-away for hunting since it is my first drop away. I seems to work good though. Very quiet.

I really like the simplicity of the Trophy Taker. I've used mine now for two seasons of hunting. Works great.

I've been hunting with the TR dropzone for three years. Never had any trouble whats so ever, it will be tuff to change brands for me. however i do think there are better rests for stalk hunting, I hunt almost exclusivly out of a treestand.

Like my cobra diamond back, guessI was really unsure of the restI wantedto get, but my local pro shop said that I would get similar performanceout of this one comparedto thehigher priced ones for less.
