If you are intending to use either rest type for field use, just use the ANS' RD formula that can compute the answer regarding the proper selection of any piece of bowhunting gear.


Formula:

Application + Necessity + Simplicity + Reliability + Durability = ANSWER

KISS is still a reliable formula, also.

Well a lot of the Fallaways on the market use prong type launchers
Both the GKF Power Drop and Hunter Elite both use prong type launchers and are both excellent rests.

I went from a Quicktune 1000 to a 4000 fall away. All I can say is I' m shooting up a lot of nocks. I' m thinking of buying stock in the nock company. Seriously the change was the smartest I' ve made in a long time and I am impressed with how it shoots now ant the increase in accuracy.
