Should I switch to a drop away?

[bo5953]

I have shot both but have been shooting a fall away for the last +/-8yrs. Back when I shot the WB I stalked within 40yds of a buck up on the Kaibab. What I didn't realize is that the arrow had pushed into the whiskers while I was belly crawling. When I drew it didn't correct itself and I didn't even bother to look since I thought it was "bomb proof". Needless to say my arrow missed the buck not by inches but yards! Switched to a fall away and will never look back.

+1 now you should smell what I'm stepping in TJ. It's not rocket science.

Well I figured I'd give a report on what I ended up with. I got a killer deal on a brand new 2013 Prime Impact for $600 off Archerytalk and basically traded straight across a Tru Ball finger release for a Ripcord SOS. I am liking the rest so far (I have it tied to the bottom limb) except for one thing. When I push the button to pop the prongs up, it makes a clicking sound when I draw the bow. Does anyone else have that problem?

Thats why i said stay away from the ripcord code red. Ripcords are noisy. The clicking is there to stay. Go to a qad if you want quite.

Also something to think about: If your bow has nock travel issues, a fixed rest like a biscuit tends to be more forgiving.

 

You also have to include bow torque with that as well. A wb will enhance bow torque if for any reason it happens on a shot. You may shot perfect at the range but get into the field with buck fever you never know what's gonna happen come go time.
