I don't mean to change the topic of this thread, but for what its worth, I've found a dropaway that attaches to the cable slide and has a spring on the pull cord works great and is pretty consistant. (I use the GFK Hunter Elite with the horseshoe launcher. The new Infinity dropaway should be great too.) The spring allows you to keep the prongs up and supporting the arrow until the very last moment. Of course, parallel limb bows may be a challenge for this setup.
Olink,
My experience with the spring mirrors yours as well (in particular on the Cavalier Avalanche/Avalanche Extreme). But you are right, on the parallel limb bows the slide attachment rarely works well...gotta tie in to the cable.
How do you like that Hunter Elite? I've been eyeing it up for a few months, but no-one seems to stock them 'round these parts.
