Hi Guys,

Have had a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone rest on my Bowtech Patriot for about a year now. Generally, I love it. Most importantly, I can really get consistently tuned groups with it while shooting broadheads. However, I noticed that it has become increasingly noisy -- In fact, now it is downright loud. Took it to the pro shop and we put a little padding under the menchanism where the springs slide down the tubes and added 2 mini limb savers, but this had only a little effect. Has anybody who has experience a noise problem with this rest found a way to effectively make it quiet? I would really hate to have to switch to something else, as the DZ is consistent on every shot, and very easy to tune.

Any help would be appreciated -- Thanks.

Time to give up before you make deer jump. Get a Trapdoor. Put some camo moleskin on the shelf and it is silent even after years of shooting.
It sounds like the thing wore out.

The Muzzy Zero Effect on my Switchback makes ZERO noise.

Had a NAP 2000 on a Bowtech for a while and put rubber on the shelf. It seemed to work ok.

If you could find some small pieces of Neoprene w/ a adhesive backing, that would probably help.

Good Luck

EXACTLY!!! Absolutely the quietest release on the shot and the draw I have ever used. The MZE is a top shelf rest.

A few folks are intimidated by it, or laugh at it's looks. This rest seriously works and is tough.

Contacted that manufacturer -- the sent me a kit to quiet down the rest that included the installation of rubber o-rings. It worked -- now the rest is much much less noise, and I feel it is quiet enough to hunt with.
