Default RE: hostage/Qad LD dropaway

i just switched from the qad to the hostage. no complaints yet on the hostage.my reason for switching was mechanical failure on the dropaway. luckily it didn't happen in a hunting situation. on thing i like about the hostage is there is practically nothing that can fail. it's a very simple rest. maybe simplicity is the key..... we'll find out this season

For Dropaways my choice would be the Limb Driver, and Full containment I don't think you can beat the Hostage

typically I would have told tou the drop away hands down, but after setting up my 70lb gaurdian and shooting bullet holes with a bare shaft and fletched arrow with the hostage I am going to say the hostage..........why not, full containment with out the contact and it performs.
