The long cable on the LD concerns me as well,I can see me getting it caught pulling it up in stand and my rest being off and costing me a deer.I seem to get my bow caught alot when pulling it up a tree.

Might have something to do with the kinds of trees I like to hunt out of.
BUT,I do think it is an excellent rest.
The G5 peep is made out of magnesium,not aluminum.That is why it is lighter.
