    What drop away rests do you all use? I plan on picking one up this weekend. (I'm leaning toward getting a ripcord ace micro or a QAD) Tell me why yours is the best! :)

    Trophy Taker Smackdown Pro. No real reason why it is "the best". I chose it because it has a full enclosure around it, a lifetime warranty, and I could use it as a limb or cable driven.

    I used an NAP Apache but I didn't like it because the arrow would fall out quite a bit. I've used th QAD ever since and I love it. I've never had any contact issues and it contains the arrow well.

    I have a ripcord on my Mathews and it works so well, I will not change until I am given a reason to. Very happy!

    QAD hdx on my Mathews Chill. QADs are the only drop aways I've used, so I can't give any comparisons. All I know is they've all worked well and never had any issues, so never had any reason to try anything else.
