the lizard tongue is a different launcher. it comes in the baggie with the tubes, the allen wrench, and some screws. i have to assume he's had it out of the package or the tubes wouldn't be on the prongs. not that that matters. you can easily see there is no wear on them. i have 2 of those rests with the lizard tongue launchers and am very happy with them. im thinking about hunting with one with the prongs.
