Default RE: Power Drop

Last year I tied a cord onto my Bodoodle Bullet and made it into a drop away and it worked better than the Trophy Taker I was testing at the time. The Bodoodle conversion provided adjustable tension and complete arrow control to the fletching and there was no way you would ever get fletching contact. I'm working on my own design now that follows the same principal only I'm using heavier parts. Simply, the Bodoodle launcher arm is tied down against the spring tension and anchored to the back side of the string on a single cam bow. During the draw cycle, the pull cord anchor point rises and allows the return spring to lift the launcher arm to full height. At the shot the pull cord falls with the bow string and pulls the launcher arm down and out of the way. Good luck shooting.
