Default RE: anyone have thoughts on the ripcord arrow rest?

In our shop we sell a lot of Ripcords, it is our most popular selling drop away rest. About a year and a half ago we had a bad batch of them sent to us. The main problem was the launcher arm was sticking up and not dropping down at all, and yes it broke when the arrow went through it. Since then Rip Cord has upgraded/redesigned itand made it more dependable. I myself have been using the rest for three years now with three different bows, zero problems for me so far. I still have theorigional on my 05 Switchback and it works just as good as the day I installed it on my bow. One other thing I'll mention is I hate using the football around the cable,instead I tiethe cord into the cable instead. The end result is much more dependable and sold, the football can and will slip and I have seen them brake too.
