I have yet to try the Limbdriver, but from everything I have heard from those that have them is that they are the best performing dropaways they have had. Most of these guys go through alot of equipment so that says something.

There are three main reasons I haven't switched to the Limbdriver:

1. I want full containment while hunting. Now I know the Limbdriver fans will say "It's virtually impossible for the arrow to fall off of the Limbdriver with the arrow holder." Be that as it may, it is not full containment.

2. The areas I hunt are not conducive to that long limb rope. I could very easily see myself pulling that rope out on the way to my stand because it is so long, and the stuff I go through is so thick. Not really a knock on the rest, just the style of hunting I do and the areas I hunt are very thick and nasty.

3. I see no reason to switch from what I've got. I've been happier with my current rest than I ever have been before with a rest and it offers everything I need. Unless asked I won't post what it is so I don't hijack the Limbdriver thread.

With that said there is no perfect rest. The Limbdriver offers a solution to an issue that has plagued dropaways for a long time and that is eliminating the pull on the cables. It also has a design that creates a longer time of arrow contact with complete clearance which means better shot to shot consistency. It is also one of the easiest dropaways to install and set up as well. As far as new and innovative dropaway rest designs go, it is a winner.
You hit on a few points I think about too. I like the full containment too. I have an older rest that holds the arrow in three places. I can turn the bow upside down and the arrow cannot fall off. The thing I had not thought of is snaggin the rope. I try to protect my bow anytime I go through any thick stuff but things happen. The fixed style of my older rest is nice less to go wrong and still reliable and acurate.

That being said it looks like a cool concept and may be a great rest. I've never used one so I only know what I have read.
