There is the whole crutch of the thing. The very average archer is not even in the same class or even close. These pro people have excellent forms that work for them, their bows are tuned completely to them way more so than the average person. IMHO you can't compare one to the other. The average archer needs every single advantage they can get and IMHO a drop away rests helps a bunch in the inconsistent forms. Also the average archer is more of a hunter and not dot shooters. I will bet most of these pro dot shooters are also using drop away rests on their hunting gear.

Drop aways are not more accurate!

* better for most yes, but more accurate no.

I diffiantly agree with Dale on this. He 100% right on. Most if not all the pros I know use a drop away hunting.

Well set up drop away will shoot just as good as a launcher no doubt. Pros dont like moveable parts.

His comment was a "correctly set up drop away is more accurate than a fixed rest"

Thats is not true at all.

There was no talk of hunting or broadheads.

This surprises me completely. Then why do we shoot drop aways?

Dont get me wrong, I shoot a limbdriver pro out of a binary
system.. indoors, outdoors and hunting.

My comments were they are not more accurate.


The market dictates what most shoot.

Most bowhunters will never shoot through paper.

OK, but I want what it most accurate, don't you? That seems to be what is best for most people... Unless there's an ugly drawback to a particular system, what is most accurate?

Rodney, I never said they were more accurate. For the "average" shooter which most of us are they are more forgiving to our faults.

Ive seen it single cam bows as well, especially the short ATA bows

Most every bow with a traditional cable guard has cam lean at some point of the draw cycle. This is why athens and most every manufacturer are using angled or flexing guards.

I had the same problem. Dropped my draw length 1/2" and it made the most difference.

Okay, here we go.....

Put the bow in the back of the jeep last night to go hunting (Broadheads were grouping great at 20 yards, so set that as my MAX distance). Pulled the bow out this morning and shot a couple rounds at the block target before heading into the field. Peep was not aligning (something changed here), fixed it, broadheads still right on the moneyl, max still 20 yards for a deer. Got home this afternoon and threw a couple through the paper....perfect hole. I shot 5 more with perfect bullet holes each time. I am using the same arrows, same form, I think the temps affected the string last night and it changed a bit, now it is shooting perfectly. Alas, the string I have on it is a temp until I get my custom one made. I had to go with a shorter string since I switched from Nitro 2.0 to 1.5s (cable lengths remain the same). I am baffled now.
