Default question on rest for comp. shooting.

My bow hunting bow is setup for hunting everything is perfect with a Muzzy 0 effect but with my new bow I want to shoot 3D would A regular rest be better then A drop away ? for this I was talking with A guy (not a pro or anything like that) he said that the pros got away from drop a ways. if this is true why?
I love my drop away I can do what ever I want to the vanes to get my perfect flight witch is 1/2 the fun for me I love tweaking!!

If you are happy with the MZE then use it.

The main thing is to to have confidence in your equipment.
I use the MZE on my 3d bow.

It seems to me that it's possible to get perfect arrow flight on a target bow without a drop away. I have an MZE, and what it does for braodheads, broadheads on carbons. Also what it does for general ease, and not having to worry about the arrow coming off the rest at the moment of truth, is all pretty unique.

But you can go through an analysis: If you shoot fat shafts, or if you shoot vanes mounted without a lot of helical, then it's totaly a,b,c, to get good fletch clearnace and arrow flight without going to a drop away.

If you were shooting say 4" fletches, and tiny carbons in the HC class, you might have a problem getting any clearance. If you are allowed to use a drop away in that class, it might be a very big advantage.

The acid test is to look at the arrow from behind, and see if there is enough space between the vanes for a prong rest. If you have the clearance, then I don't see the point to a drop away. The MZE in particular is quite heavy, and doesn't do positive things for the ballance of my bow.
