I've shot with it two evenings now. It seems to be the dog's wotsits.
Nice groups once more.

I'm going to look at the GKP though following Geoff's suggestion as it is a much nicer piece of engineering and MUCH easier to adjust.

I'm an engineer and allready knew that just thought it sounded funny I bet there are several people who have read it and do thing you push the arrow though

I assume you meant the TKO as a drop away? If you look at my post about the setup on the GKP I have several pictures there really very simple rest not much to go wrong and so far I like it.

Well the honeymoon is well and truly over. One week and the thing seizes up. I guess I've been unlucky as many others in the club shoot this rest and have had no problems.

I've stripped it down and can't immediately see any reason why the launcher would sieze in it's oilite bearing, but it did. To the workshop with it at the weekend.

Are there any other recommended drop-away rests?

I can't find that rest with any of the UK on-line shops. I'll try converting my Golden Key Premier. It just needs a longer bolt with the correct thread.

I'm also going to see if I can find the cause of the siezure and fix the Top Rest if I can.

a shop Stock the TKO

With respect to the premier I would be tempted to get rid of the spring and get a rigid rope ('D' loop material).
