Drop Away

Chief ShawayChief Shaway Member, Moderator Posts: 6,199 ******
The debate between the DA and the WB got me wondering. When you draw back with a DA and for whatever reason don't take the shot, what happens to the arrow when you let the string down?

    It can fall off.[:0] Thats why I had the vital Kaz away real nice drop away shot real well but when I let down the arrow hops up and used to not sit right. I 'M not sure about other drop aways they might be different[?] but I think once you draw if you shake or somthing your done[:(] as with the biscuit draw let down shake not going to do anything to arrow position.[^] Cheif If your gonna hunt go with the biscuit .[;)]

    WRONG!


    I have shot two drop aways, a NAP 2000 and currently the trophy taker. Niether one would let the arrow drop off the rest if I were to let down. Niether one of them are a containment type drop away. If you are really worried about the arrow falling off the rest. You can get the arrow holder like NAP has or any of the other ones on the market.

    With the DropZone the arrow just lowers back to the pad as you let down from draw. Nothing to worry about. Even if the arrow is not in the pad as you draw, the rest is designed to pick it up and put it in the right place.

    Never had a problem with my fall away and the arrow coming out (so far).
