The target launcher is almost right for using as a spring steel type launcher. Im going to shave mine down a little more so just incase the cord ever does mess up, i have confidence that the fletchings will clear easily. Right now with the maximas (small diameter shaft) and duravanes the slightly touch when even, but... i shot it adn they still shoot well even slightly contacting the rest. That was with 2.3" duravanes btw. Id say if a fellow were to cut the tips of off the new containment launcher, they would have the optimal hunting or target rest either way. I think i might try it. I really dont like cutting on those 6$ blades though[&:]
