Title: Drop Zone rest issue.
Post by: billythekidrock on August 19, 2012, 06:38:45 PM: Today my Drop Zone rest started to hang up after I release. It does not drop fast or completely. It starts to drop and hangs up about half way down, then slowly drops the rest of the way. It is as if the tubing is thicker in the middle of the slide. I know that isn't the case, but it is the best way to describe the issue.

Are there replacement springs or the plastic tubing that it slides down?

Those have a tendancy to collect dust and grime through the slot the rest moves up and down through. Clean it up and work it up and down until it moves freely again. If that doesn't work contact trophy ridge or taker can't remember who makes that one. Good luck!

Was thinking new guts would help, but they don't have replacement parts on their site.

No, the nock point didn't change. I could pull the string by hand and watch it hang on the drop.

Post by: billythekidrock on August 22, 2012, 08:52:12 PM: When I emailed them I asked if there were replacement springs or the plastic tubes.

I got an email from Bear Customer Service today (Bear/Trophy Ridge/Rocket) and the Customer Service representative requested my address to send me the replacement parts.

"Send us your name and address. I will send out the replacement parts and get you taken care of. Thanks."

Great customer service.
