TR drop zone failed me
 

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.

This rest looked interesting BUT I think I' ll stick wit my Golden Key [:-]

I would get straight back to TR about this, I too wouldn' t be very happy with such an expensive rest failing like that so soon after purchase, lets hope its not a design fault.

After using their sight for one season I know I will never buy another Trophy Ridge product again. I know this is a bit off topic but, I was talking to a guy in the sporting goods store that uses their sights and after breaking pins like I did sent his sight in to get the pins replaced with metal ones and they had the BA!!$ to charge him $35 to do this. $50 if you just buy the metal pins to do it yourself. Seems to me they think they' re quite a bit better than everyone else but aren' t backing it up with quality products. I think I' ll spend my elsewhere.

I have not used any TR products but based upon many of the opinions on their sights I' ve read and heard, as well as the rest, I think they are a great marketing firm first and a quality archery manufactuer second. Sure they have great full color ads and catching slogans, names, and acronyms(VIPIN, ST(steel tech), DVD Bracket, VDR(vertical drop rest) for everything but does that help you shoot better, I think not. Maybe they need to pull there staff off the marketing side of the company and put some more people on QA and R&D.

I am curious as to how exactly did the unit fail.
you mean the rest is held together by a string?
I thought the drop zone did not work by strings or cables.

Crickets chirping
 

so what went wrong with the rest?

RE: TR drop zone failed me
 

I think it is the GKF Powerdrop that does not use cables but the Trophy Ridge dropzone uses a cord to connect with the cable. It sounds like the cord that connects from the launcher to the bow' s cable became disconnected at the rest itself.

Bummer, this is one of the rests I wanted to check out this year.

I was just wondering if you' d been able to get sorted, or if not what you' ve been able to get done about this

Guys I got my new Power drop last thursday I bolted it up got centershot and the arrow squared to string with the actuator button just touching the buss cable and was shooting perfect bullet holes instantly and robinhooded 2 arrows group tuning. this rest Is top notch and built like a tank!

Guys you really need to take a hard long look at this rest because this is the one that will make all others obsolete!!![8D]
