Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 After my bow doing some funky things and shooting all over the place without me changing anything in the setup, I went down to Targeteers last night in jersey and had them install a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone on it. Now she spits arrows out like darts. I only shot 3 at 10 yards, but all 3 were within a quarter, touching eachother. Needless to say, I'm impressed. After looking at the rest I had on there, an NAP Quiktune 1000, it seems that the right fork had gotten itself lower than the left somehow and it was wearing away with vane contact, thus sending my arrows flying all over the place. Now I just have to re-sight the pins and then shoot BH's. Can't wait for the Texas trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 i have the trophy ridge drop away, oh man you'll love it, i've only had my arrow pop off the rest one time when i drew back because i was in a hurry and i rushed things, other than that she'll make your arrow flight very true!!

okiedog Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I shoot a drop away on every bow I own, as well as setting my wifes up with one as well. You cant top them IMHO:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I had just bought the whisperflite one not to long ago. At first, I was having more fletching contact then ever. Took a little bit to figure out, but now it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Drop Zone Sounded Good Interesting..... I've been linking about getting away from the whisker bisquit. I was thinking about getting a drop away to replace my whisker biscuit rest too, however so far with my new bow I've been able to have 1" groups at 40 yards with it. I'd do it for speed, but I'm shooting up close to 300 fps through a chronograph now. If things ever changed I'd probably go to a Drop Zone, unless I was given a different brand rest first. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 You'll never go back. You are so right Chris, once you get a drop away you will say, "why didn't I switch sooner?" Good luck on your trip Joe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well I was gonna agree with you guys b/c I had never had a problem with them till tonight, I was shooting a video league and my third shot went way left(missed the screen) thought maybe I just lost concentration and put my arm down during the shot then after another 2 shots it did it again took it out to the bow-tec and after a liddle fiddling he decided it was the rests internals. What had happened is that there is 2 composite rods with in the rest and had bent both of them. He said it happens alot from the amount of pressure the spring puts on them, He also said that it seems to happen close to 700 shots on the rods(it was about 900 for me). Just thought I would let you guys know. i couldn't finish shooting and had to be scratched for the week. This was the second problem I had with the rest the other was the noise that the spring made when released. Once i get the money I think I am gonna switch to the Expert2 dropaway no composite rods just a rope. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Interesting..... I've been linking about getting away from the whisker bisquit. Sounds like a lot of people are thinking of switching. Me included. Does anyone know just how much the whisker bisquit slows the arrow?

okiedog Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well I was gonna agree with you guys b/c I had never had a problem with them till tonight Brad.... what brand and model of rest do you have on your bow? I have shot many different models over the years and have never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Sounds like a lot of people are thinking of switching. Me included. Does anyone know just how much the whisker bisquit slows the arrow? I've read on multiple occasions that it's only a 2 or 3 fps slowdown, which really isn't much for a hunting setup.
