RE: drop aways and bowtechs
Drop aways will work better on the VFT bows if the cord is attached to the down cable instead of the cable slide. Also you have much greater adjustment on the timing. This is due to the very small amount of cable slide movement on the parallel limb bows as opposed to the more conventional style compouds w/ alot of cable slide travel. When it's attached to the cable slide a very small adjustment (1/16") will affect the timing greatly.. where as if it's attached to the down cable a 1/8" adjustment will make a much smaller effect on the timing.

RE: drop aways and bowtechs
I had contact trouble (timing issue?) with the MZE and my Mighty Mite VFT. Tried it every way I could - never could get the contact to stop. I still have the rest - wish someone from muzzy could figure this out so I can switch back from the WB. The WB is great for inside 25 yds, but the groups open up to 4" beyond 30yds - unacceptable[>:].

RE: drop aways and bowtechs
The Pro Shop at the BowTech factory turned me on to a Dalton Drop away called the Mirage 5000. I have it connected to the cable slide and it shoots very well. It has a great cradle for the arrow too, I can turn the bow to 90 degrees and the arrow will stay on the rest. The price was right too, $65 there, but I've seen them for $100 at other shops.
