Not as well known as some but check out Schafer drop-aways including the MAT-1. They have been advertising a little more in some hunting rags but don't have a website that I'm aware of. They are located in Burnsville, MN. There were some independent high-speed video studies done with those rests as compared to others looking for stability at the moment of release and vibration after the shot. The Schafer was voted #1. I'll try and find some info. Also, they have their rests camo dyed at the same location as Mathews and Hoyt to match up perfectly. Not sure on Bowtech. If I find a website I will post. Cloud 9, MN you may have heard of them. The owner is a friend of mine who also has an archery shop. He is an engineer and has placed as high as 2nd in the world for IBO.

Found the website. ....www.schafferarchery.com

Another fan of the MZE here. IMO, it's hard to beat for a hunting rest.

I've had good luck with the NAP 4000s, I have 3 of them. I'm playing around with a Trophy Taker on a new bow. So far it works fine. I like the micro adjustments on the NAP but, adjusting the TT is simple enough. I'd recommend either rest.

Trophy Taker for sure, just put one on my Patriot and it works great

I was considering a drop away, the mze. my local dealer told me that they are extremely noisy. is this true? He also said they wear the strings pretty bad too. Don't know personally, maybe some of the fellows that shoot em could answer.

Losto choices out there...the simpler the better IMO.

I'm using a Trophy Taker Shakey right now on my Liberty that is a super solid piece of equipment. I've also got one of our own "Walks With a Gimp"s (Russ W.) "plainsman" drop-aways on my ExVFT and it too is solid and simple, and works quite well.

The NAP 4000 is a nice rest (easy to adjust) as is the Cavalier Avalanche Extreme

No experience w. the MZE, but folks seem to like them.

Seems to me like the TT is the "standard" by which all others are judged, and the MZE has a very large loyal following.

nap quiktune drop away 4000 but a 2000 model would be nearly as good

I've got a MZE from the original year they were made, and they are heavy. Not a problem, since most of the compounds these days start out pretty light, but have they changed them in the last few year to lighten them up, because there is no way I would refer to the one I have as light.

MZE are the best I have seen. I look for a rest shape the arrow won't fall off, at least as stable as the good old boddodle. I like the mechanism to operate off the slider or maybe be vibration initiated. I don't like strings, they constantly hook up on brush and stuff. I used to have that kind of peep aligner, and no sooner is that sorted out, than the manufacturers come out with all these gizmos for the rest.

MZEs are totaly silent.

I have heard the MZE's are noisy too, but whne reading my Bowhunting mags, I read that they are putting a film or something on the rest to quiet it down! But I would suggest the NAP 2000 or 4000 or the Trophy Taker!
