If your looking for simple and easy to tune. Trophy Taker all the way. I have shot nothing else for two years. You will not find tougher more dependable rest.

I' m just really curious about the mods to the NAP Quicktune Bernie. I just had to move mine out a tad to get the clearence I needed. How big of vanes or feathers are you shooting?

For the Trophy Taker shooters out there. How is the containment system with thos rests?

I shoot standard feathers I get from the pro shop. I asked the guys at the pro shop about the problem and they told me they were going to quit carrying the quick tune drop aways because of the problem I mentioned and with another problem with the cable hitting vains. The cure they found for the cable hitting the vains is to attach it to your down cable rather than your cable guide. My problem was with the cock feather making contact with the bottom of the rest. It was minimal but still bothered me. I simply got in my shop and cut me two pieces of stanless steal wire longer than the prongs that came with the rest and bent them into the shape of the originals. I then put the plastic covers that were on the originals over them. It works great now. some of my problem could have come from the fact that I am shooting an older bow that doesnt allow me to move the rest much past the riser. Even thought my bow is a little older, the pro shop guys told me they were having lots of people come in with the same problems with newer bows.

If you don' t like cables, slides and all the other stuff.....you should not rule out the Drop Zone. No cables, no wires, springs, etc. It is an awesome rest, can be tuned in 5 minutes and very quiet.

I like the following fall aways

Trophy Ridge Drop Zone
Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter
GKF TKO
MZE (Muzzy Zero Effect)
NAP Fall Aways

All of these are great currently the 2 I like the best are the DropZone & the Trophy Taker.
