I can't answer for a binary as I shoot a Marquis. However I have been very pleased with the performance of my Limbdriver. Easy to install, easy to tune, and accurate.

Default RE: Anyone used a limb driver rest?

I had one on a commander. Worked great for 3d and target. I didn't like it for a hunting rest. Easiest rest I ever setup before. I like the new LD setups. I had one of the first ones where setting elevation was painful at best. Now, you got a choice of several arrow forks, and can adjust elevation like any othe rest.

I have never had issues tuning "downward cable attaching rests" to binary cams that some have. But I time them after I attach the rest. I see some time the cams before attaching and not with the downward cable being pulled, they get slightly off.

Do you have the new launcher derek? If so how do you like it? Does it make problems with fletching clearance since the holding prongs stick up on the launcher arm?

I have one on my 82nd. I like the rest and the mechanics of how it works. It was easy to set up and tune as others have said. I use mine for hunting only and haven't had any trouble. I simply attach a little $5.00 rubber arrow holder to the front of the shelf and there are no issues with arrow containment. This simple little product could solve a lot of guys arrow containment issues with the drop aways.

I used a Trophy Taker on my Allegiance binary cam and had no issues there either. Tuned easily and could group FP's with fixed blade heads at 60 yards.

I dont have the newest launcher arm, but i do have the target launcher. It is a perfect lizard tongue style holder, that is big enuff to hold fat arrows well.

The new holder is very nice looking. I never had containment issues or worries but i will definately be getting one ASAP.

drockw,

Do you know if there are any pics of the new launcher online anywhere? I've been dying to see this new configuration before I make any hasty rest decisions in the near future.

I've got one on my Captain, my Admiral, my IceMan, and my Carnivore 31. Had one on my 82nd Airborne but sold it along with the bow. I've got a Muzzy Zero Effect on my Allegiance and a Hostage Pro onthe Liberty.

Yeah, I'd say they work pretty well on the binary cam bows.

I may sell them all off though and replace them all with our Octane Tripwire rests.
