The LD doesn't bounce back. When the launcher goes down, it kind of sticks by some type of internal mechanism. Hard to explain, but it actually slows the launcher down just before it hits its bottom making it quieter also.

I powder tested and paper tuned last night after mounting it. I did have a little contact with the Blazers, but just rotated cock vane up and it resolved that issue quickly.

I really like the design. One thing I've made up my mind on was total containment. I will not shoot another hunting rest without it being total containment. Especially after using the APA the last couple seasons.

Of the people who used it, did anyone use the football thingy to attach the cord to the down cable?
