RE: Trophy Taker Problem
 

You have mentioned that you set the timing. However did you check for the up and down. It sounds like you probably have your other rest set up correctly as it is easier to make adjustments. Even though the timing is set, it doesn't mean that the arrow is in the proper location. I am using the trophy taker rest and absolutly love it. If you can have a buddy watch as you draw to make sure that the arrow rest is in the proper location at full draw. And I agree with the other post that describes these as being built like a tank. If all the tricks won't work then scrap the rest. You will never shoot good with something that you dont have confidence in.

RE: Trophy Taker Problem
 

My opinion is that the form problem (or whatever the real problem is) should be found and corrected instead of "bandaiding" it by going with a rest that helps mask the problem.

Experiment w/ your anchor, or grip, or release aid a bit.

RE: Trophy Taker Problem
 

I have the trophy taker original and have had absolutely no problems with it.If it was a form problemor your release or even your knock travel I don't think you'd shoot terrible with the shakey and have no problem's with the other .My opinion is that your string on the bus cable must be wrong.Pull the string from your arrow rest straight back to your bus cable{the down side } then tie your string an 1"1/2 above your parelel point ,if your string is served below I'll bet that's the problem. I hope this help's . Just one more thing your string from the rest should go to the right {I'm taking it that you shoot right if you shoot left then do this in reverse}of your bus cable and then served as I said about a 1"1/2 above the rest hieght, Then serve down till your even with the rest .If your string is to the inside of the bus cable when you release, the slack in the string from your rest could be touching your arrow and causing your erratic arrow flight .Let me know how you make out. Also make sure you serve the string to the back of the down stroke cable.

Nubo, I always served it below that point. I will try that. You know the strange
thing about all this is I once had a Mathews Conquest-2 that I used the same
Trophy Taker on and I had none of these problems with it. Same arrows,
same release and all was o.k. with it. Go figure.

RE: Trophy Taker Problem
 

All the discussions that have transpired regarding "drop-away" rests begs of one central question:

What actual advantage does the "drop-away" rest provide?

Other than a person having the right of choice; for the purpose of bowhunting what is/are the facts about a "drop-away" that justifies an increased complexity of function, tuning, and an increased chance of malfunction or failure in comparison with standard mechanical rests that are chiefly static, with a (simple) tension, elevation, and windage adjustment?

Most likely, some will say that the "drop-away" rest provides them confidence. Confidence is good. However, feeling confident is mental and emotional; confidence is not tangible. Realistically, you cannot mentally or emotionally will something to happen or not happen.

Some bowhunters that use a "drop-away" will vehemently maintain that the rest is superior because it eliminates fletch contact, improves accuracy, and increases speed. Other rests with less complexity and greater durability do the same, and have for years.

Some bowhunters will exaggerate the actual conditions of bowhunting deer and what gear and type of gear is necessary to kill a deer. They will claim that with the advanced bowhunting gear that is available today, you can defy the law of physics, shoot a flat trajectory at supersonic speeds, kill deer at greater distances, and whatever else can be conjured up.

When all is said and done, the facts always prevail. Whether you hunt from the ground or from an elevated treestand, the average range that most deer are shot with a bow is 5 to 21 yards. This average distance has remained somewhat static for years, and probably always will remain the average. A 150-fps recurve with the arrow shot off a solid shelf can be deadly accurate and has brought down many deer in the stated average distances. Therefore, what advantage does a "drop-away" rest truly provide?

1 - Fletching clearnce with Aggresive Helecoil

2- Better arrow holding capabilities than standard two prong

3- And most importantly they take about 7 or 8 months to set up correctly. The off-season is long – what else is there to do:D

RE: Trophy Taker Problem
 

I have shot Trophy Taker for two years and was recommended by pro archer. My coach is a archery lengend and domanated indoor archer for many years. He shoots trophy taker. I have tuned and placed many on bows with very simple tuning. If your groups are tight whats the promblem. Standard rest isnt going to fix arrow flight.

Take the grip off your bow and try shooting off the bare riser.

Dsheally! you can start serving straight out from the arrow rest and work up or start from the top it doesn't matter just as long as the string is above 1"1/2 approx at the point of serving. Make sure the serving is on the opposite side of the bus cable from your arrow not the INSIDE. Your string from your rest should not be tigh when it's not being drawn slack it should have slack.

Simple direction's this might make it a little easier

1.Pull the string directly straight to the outside of your down stroke cable.Do not activate the rest leave it down.

2.Pinch it , then with the loose end of the string lift it up 2" along the outside of the bus cable and pinch it .

3.Come down 1/2 inch and serve the remainder 1"1/2 to the arrow side of the bus cable down .

4.If there is any string left you can cut it off.

Remember string to the outside around the cable and serve it to the inside of the bus cable.

I hope this makes it a little easier to understand.

If this don't work then I'm not sure what to say.

P.S. the remaining string length may vary with your brace length you may not have 1"1/2 of string left if your brace is longer than mine, but it doesn't matter it doesn't have to be exactly an 1"1/2..... 1" or even 3/4 maybe fine as long as it's served tight .
