TR drop zone failed me

You didn' t happen to have the string too tight did you. Where it wanted to keep pulling the rest up even though it is up? If you have the string to short it could be pulling on the rest harder than what is supposed to and yanked the string out?

I had the opportunity to set one or two of these rests up over the last week and was actually reasonably impressed with the design. It looked rugged and simple enough...yet there was ample adjustment capability as well. Setup was easy provided the instructions were read. Call me crazy but I think this is one cord to cable rest that I would not mind trying.

I installed a Drop Zone on my bow about 2weeks ago, and love it. Simple to set up and very easy operation.
1. Tie cord on down cable ( the same knot you use to tie a string loop).
2.Draw bow and let knot slide up cable. If rest does no come up compleatly,shorten
cord and re-knot.
3. Draw bow and let knot slide up cable, let down bow and install a brass nock above your knot. Serve about 3/4 of an inch above your nock.
4. Finished. If you leave a little extra cord, about 3/4 of an inch,on your knot you can fine tune if you have to.
5. This is my suggestion only, and you will not need a bow press.
Hope this helps anyone who has one of these rests.

I have shot my new drop zone rest maybe 200 shots and it was awesome until a few hours ago. I drew back and it dropped. The string pulled out inside the rest where it hooks to the launcher. So now I get to travel to the archery shop to put my bow in a press so I can take the string out of my cable and fix it. A $100 plus dollar rest should not cause trouble after 200 shots. Seems like trophy ridge has some super ideas but forgets about the simple details that make products last.

did you say you needed a BOWPRESS to set it up?
How is yours holding up?
I just went to my dealer to look at the new products and he had a broken matrix
on the counter and he was pissed!
He said the customer said the head just fell off.[:' (]and returned it.
No Drop Zones at this shop.

I recently switched from the GKF Mirage to the Trophy Ridge DROP ZONE and couldn' t be more impressed with this product. This is my new favorite rest and it is the one I' ll be haulin' into my treestand this fall.
Tosore Hunter,
A bowpress is needed to relax the harness so that the cord an be fitted thru its center. This is the most common way I know of for the majority of fallaways.
