QAD Ultra Rest. It locks in the upward position and fully contains your arrow so it will never fall off the rest. It is just like the ripcord except the ripcord will fall down if you draw your bow and let down and the Ultra rest will only fall if you shoot. My proshop is selling a ton of them and everybody that works there shoots them on all of there bows.

RE: Drop away arrow rest
I used the Trophy Taker Shakey last season and harvested several deer using it, however i just couldn't get the noise of the launcher arm dropping on the bow shelf quiet enough for my taste no matter how much silencing material i used or what i tried. I also couldn't see having to go through all that trouble trying to quieten down a new rest. It probably wasn't as bad as i thought it was but i could still hear it and it bothered the heck out of me. I use a Premier for off season shooting and have recently installed a Whisker Biscuit for hunting and absolutely love the biscuit but i'll leave that alone since thats not what this post is about. If i were to ever go back to a fall away i would check out the TKO and also the Drop Zone. I have several friends who use both and they are very good rest imo and are very quiet. I'm not taking nothing away from the Trophy Taker Shakey because it is also a well built rest and works great with the exception of the little noise that i just couldn't seem to get rid of. Good luck in your choice.

Simply enter Drop Zone in a "search" and you'll quickly see why this rest is fastly becomming THE fallaway rest of choice for MANY shooters. An excellent bomb-proof design that functions flawlessly in any condition. I've rarely seen a product catch on so fast in only it's second season. I think this fact speaks volumes of the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone's quality performance. I love this rest and now use them on all my rigs. The excellent reputation this rest has earned speaks for itself. Check out what folks on this forum as well as others are saying. The TR DZ rocks!!!

RE: Drop away arrow rest
Thanks for all of the advice. Last night I purchased a Shakey Hunter and so far i'm pleased. The pro shop I use was very helpful and when the owner pulled out his bow that he had recently installed a shakey hunter rest onto, I knew I couldn't go wrong. Yes, the arm makes a little noise when it falls but i know i can quite it down. Anyone out there from southern Pa. or northern Md. should check out Marchio's Sport Hut. These guys have always been helpful and almost always have exactly what I need. They are located in Hanover, Pa. No, I don't work for them i'm just a very satisfied customer.

OK, I see a lot of guys like the NAP droppers. Here is the scoop. They do not fit a Hoyt Tech riser well unless you buy a spacer to fill the slot where it mounts. In fact you have to get two of them as they are not made thick enough for one to fill the void. NAP makes these spacers. Other than that I have nothing bad to say about them.
