I never had issues with the launcher, except clearance when I installed in on my 6" brace height "Frankenstein" bow with Black Knight cams. I did have the launcher hang up a few too many times, and finally took the full capture latch out. Mine functions like a Trophy Taker now, and I have not had any more problems with it. The APA sounds intriguing, but I think if I change out rests, I will go for the Muzzy Next Gen.
