Im thinking about closing the deal on one of these rests, and where it may seem as a small accessory to some, its more like an investment to me....
How truly good are these rests, not based on the fact that there new and cool with a whole new concept of drop-aways, but rather, the issues of how well they perform, group, and such.
I know they stay on the arrow 60-70% longer before actually dropping away. This seems like a good thing. Are there any cons to this rest?
I currently have a cobra diamondback dropaway, and while i was influenced to get it rather that the 360 last year when i bought it, i am fully pleased with its performance, after about a day of tinkering.
What difference will i notice between it and my current one.
Is this rest the best way to go for me? For hunting and some 3-D on the side thati really enjoy andlooking to get better at. I just want to make sure im making a wise decision in this and not just wanting to hang with the cool kids.

It'll be on my hunting bow until something better comes out. It's the easiest drop away to set up, ever. I was VERY skeptical when I decided to get mine, but after I got it, I knew it was a fantastic rest. If you want me to, I can bring my hunting bow with me so you can check it out?
Well, I just installed 2 for my bows, one on the 82nd and the other on the General. I did so on the recommendation of Matt / PA, Greg / MO, MeanV and others who I trust as far as equipment choices. I have my own ideas from time to time and try to stay open for suggestion. I think there are many guys on here I trust who love the Limbdriver, if you trust my judgement, it's an excellent rest. You'll be pleased.

A phrase used in your question caught my attention -- that this was going to be more of an investment, and not just a simple accessory. Believe me, I know where you're coming from. I remember those days well.
What's nice about the Limbdriver is its universal fit on all bows. It's no secret I'm a Zero Effect fan -- on a bow that they'll work on. With the Limbdrivers, if you ever sell or change bows, you can keep your rest knowing that it will work on your next bow -- and that you don't have to sell it at a loss or throw it in with the bow. That makes for a great investment.
HeyGreg according to my shop no drop away will work on my 99 Hoyt due to the overdraw and the measurement from the rest to the cable I think he stated.. I will post a pic and get your thoughts? Thx *Please no 'get a bowtech bow then' remarks fella's*
Ok this is the best I can do for a pic right now any help is great help thx.

I'm not that familiar with the bow you're talking about, but we'll see if we can help. The only reason I can see that the distance from the rest to the limb (length of the cable) would matter is if the supplied cord is too short; in that case, it would be a simple matter of getting a longer piece of d-loop material (or braiding a piece of kevlar as Matt / PA is doing on his to eliminate stretch).
Is there only ONE limbdriver rest? What is the limbdriver pro?
Which one will fit my 82nd?
A solid limb, Limbdriver Pro will fit.
As far as the different models, I THINK they offer a target model. Then they have the Limbdriver Pro, which has easier adjustments than the standard Limbdriver. I think the Limbdriver Pro, is a new model. That's the one that I have.
Your oppinions please....Limb driver
