I think I'm done tinkering for one year. I am a stickler for arrow rests and like to try out a couple each year. I got done playing with the Drop Zone, didn't care too much for it and was thinking of putting my Trophy Taker back on and decided the heck with it and put my NAP QT 4000 back on and shot a while tonight with it. Much quieter than the Trophy Taker and IMO, easier to setup.

Don't get me wrong, the TT is a nice rest, but IMHO, the NAP is a better rest. Its been good to me and I'll just stay with it. It gives me the most confidence and I personally feel it has better containment. Plus, you don't have to fight with all the moleskin(which I hate)

Just thought I would share the joy..

What didn't you like about the Dropzone? I'd appreciate hearing about any negative feedback. I was thinking of trying one out.

Thanks!

Bowfanatic, really, there was only a couple things I didn't care for much. One, it is big, heavy and bulky when compared to other rests. The other thing is the containment. Its certainly not the worst, but it could be made better. Inherently, you have to shoot cock vane up, which makes it difficult to use any kind of stick on arrow holder other than the one supplied or maybe a Trophy taker style. I felt that either of these were as good as the one that comes with the NAP's. You shoot cock vane down with them and the groove can be deeper, thus holding the arrow better IMO.

This isn't directly related to the DZ, but most drop aways is the use of the cord in the down cable. While I never had any problems with that setup, I just never could get completely confident knowing that a knot burned and mushroomed was holding my arrow up. But this is just my own pet peeves. NAP's uses a steel cable which in my head is a much better gettup.

Of course these are trivial. One thing is for certain, the DZ is very quite compared to any I tried other than the MZE. But the NAP is almost as quiet once you get the arrow holder in place.

Just my two cents.

Done tinkering for the year!!!!!! Now I don't care who you are that's funny Chris I'd be willing to bet you'll have a new toy to tinker with next week.

Naaa..well, yeah, you're probably right Chad. It wont be an arrow rest though. I'm done with that part of the equation. Now maybe a Stealth Stabilizer..........Hmmmmmm?

Hmmmm....what kind of sight are you using? How about your choice of arrows?........

Frank, don't start. I'm awefully happy with my Extreme Sniper sight. Axis shafts are flying very well. Only thing I've been contemplating is maybe a stab experiment

But who the heck knows, its a loooong way till season.
