I'm still trying to figure out which is better... shooting off a padded shelf or off my knuckle. And, if it's the padded shelf, which is better... leather or a rug? [8D]

Frank.... Tell me it ain't so! Looking at the kid's photo, it almost looks like you've outfitted the poor li'l tyke with a CROSSBOW![:-]
I think you better 'splain yourself.[>:]
And don't go tryin' to blame it on mom!

Arthur:
I gave Frank an "outgrown" ash self-bow and an arrow made of multiflora rose for the boy. My guess is that the little guy likes the bright colors.

LOL! I just figgered Frank needed a razzing over that one. Good lookin' kid, ain't he? He obviously gets that from mom.
What was we talking about before I interrupted??? Oh yeah! Dropaways vs conventionals. Carry on, fellers. Sorry about that.[8D]

Back on topic:
I like dropaways, but I don't have much experience with them.....the concept is sound. I had a Mirage that was loud and a pain to tune. Conventional rest are 'in the way' the whole time and are likely the root of most tuning porblems....ie, fletch contact.
