drop-away rests
 

i was looking in to buying one of those drop-away rests but i was wondering which ones you guys prefer

RE: drop-away rests
 

You'll probably get lots of different answers with your question because it's really a matter of personal preference. There's a ton of fallaways on the market and they'll all do what they're designed to do if they're set up correctly and the bow is tuned.Having said that, my personal preference for hunting is the GKF Mirage. It has everything i want in a fallaway for hunting so thats what i use and recommend when asked. I don't shoot spots or 3d but if i did i would probably go with something else, not that the mirage wouldn't get it done because i'm sure it would but imo there's some better target rest out there.
Do a search using the keyword fallaways andi'm sure you'll probably come up with all kinds ofgood information. Mike

I think they are all pretty good but I prefer my NAP Quicktune 2000. It is pretty simple, easy to set up, and dependable.

RE: drop-away rests
 

I have the Hoyt/Fuse and the Ultra-Rest and so far I like the ultra-rest better but the Hoyt rest has knob adjustments and the Ultra-Rest is a type that you loosen a bolt and move by pushing. Both are pretty good. I think the Hoyt is a NAP.

I have a Ripcord andworks great for me.
Very easy to tune, took me 2 adjustment and shooting bullet holes with mine.
Total arrow containment great for stalking.
So far no complaints on the Ripcord yet.

Also look at the Qad ultra rest LD.

RE: drop-away rests
 

I prefer the dropaways made by APA. They are also a full containment rest so there are never any worries about a dropped arrow at the moment of truth.

I prefer the HTM because, to me, it's the strongest built and most reliable of them all. ;)

I have had a trophy taker for 4 years and performs flawlessly. I have the original on my Trykon and the shakeyhunter on my Tribute. http://www.trophytaker.com/arrow_rests.aspx?model=shakey&type=arrow_rest HCH

RE: drop-away rests
 

In the world of dropaway rest I feel thereare a few things to consider.
1) If it's out of the way then you might as well have a containment feature .You don't even have to think about your arrow falling off.
2)The ridged arm is IMO more fail safe then the string,and is connected in to the guide Rather then the cables

They make a custom rest for Hoyt,Mathews and a universal to fit all others. They also convert to a conventional rest if you decide you don't want a fall away.

RE: drop-away rests
 

I would definitely go with the Schaffer for a Mathews or Hoyt.
Nothing better than a rest specifically made to fit the bow as long as it's quality !
My old PSE Mach 8 has a Pro-500 made to fit it and it's a great combination.

doesthe nap drop-away 2000 fit on a switchback

RE: drop-away rests
 

You need the Nap drop away 2000 RG for your switchback. It works really well on mine.

RE: drop-away rests
 

i just put the shakey hunter on my trykon and wow i love it

RE: drop-away rests
 

I use the NAP 2000 RG on my Legacy and love it.:D

RE: drop-away rests
 

I'll second or third a Schaffer.....expensive though. I have one on my BT Patriot. The Vaportrail Limbdriver is getting rave reviews also.

i have trophy ridge drop zones on both of my hoyts ,never had a problem with them and they were easy to tune!

Trophy Taker for many years

Accurate, solid and easy to install.

RE: drop-away rests
 

I liked the drop zone. My next rest will be a VaporTrail limbdriver.

RE: drop-away rests
 

Shakey all the way on both my bows (Mach-12/Allegiance). Got some brush on teflon called Silent Coat on put it on my fork, was able to see any contact with the fletching while getting it installed.

RE: drop-away rests
 

with the nap quiktune 2000 rg on a switchback do you mount it on the first hole or the second one?

RE: drop-away rests
 

QAD ULTRA REST is the way to go as with all their products they are great!
