Are you sure you dont have too much arrow on it? (not dropping soon enough)

I understand the torgue factor with a conventional type rest being less forgiving to torque the further you mount it behind your bow hand. But one of the selling factors of the drop away is more forgiveness to torque due to the arrow not riding on the rest through the majority of the release.

Try tinkering around with it and get back to us. I'm intrigued by the Drop Zone. Been thinking of trying one out myself.

Also , how far back behind the shelf does it mount? An inch or two?

Thanks for the pic!

I'm surprised they didn't slot that out and put a set screw in the front so you could adjust it closer to the riser if you want.

Oh wait , I suppose that will be the new 2005 drop zone XLS Elite!


Btw , does the broadhead clear the front of the riser (does it raise fast enough) to give me a warm fuzzy? 29 1/2" draw with a 29" arrow?

Do not forget that even though the rest may dropping out of the way of the arrow, the arrow is still connected to the string through the power stroke. The string is trying to push straight forward but the arrow may not be pointing that way at the beginning of the power-stroke. Thus you get a more pronounced ~---> as the arrow tries to correct itself. This is why drop-aways work best with a slightly stiff arrow. Borderline spines will generally show hand torque more than a stiff arrow will. IME anyway.
