Dan Evans, the inventor and founder of Trophy Taker, had a goal in mind when he designed the Original Fall-Away...to build the perfect rest for hunting and tournament shooting.
Dan has been accused of being an elk hunting fool and a perfectionist.
When those two characteristics merge in a founder and president, hunters can be sure they are using premium innovative archery products that produce results.
