It is the best design so far, yet I still hit my vanes ~1 out of 4 times. I know this because without moleskin or teflon, you can see a smudge from the vane. I think you'll find out why some including myself have mole skin on the launcher. The teflon that they give you will tear off. It really isn't affecting my shot though. Today I shot 44/60 Xs on my third game for a 297/300 and I don't shoot leagues and I have only shot once per week with this bow since December. I really don't think that you will find a better one for this speed bow.
