It is a common problem with speed. If you do the searches, you will find a lot of really good threads. I went through the same thing with my 101 and ended up with a limb driver. The muzzy zero effect seems to have the best review, yet they are not yet out for the 101s. The limb driver forces down from the limb action whereas the others force down with a spring which is not fast enough. Their is always the reliable WB but I don't like them (wear, can't really fine tune, less speed). I am not an expert by any means so feel free to explore.

The new Hostage Pro will be out in mid march by bowtech,I haven't tried one but from what the guys in here on the bowtech corporate staff say,you'll like it. Plus it doesn't have the drag as the wisker bisuit and it doesn't bother the 2" blazers or for that reason, any feathers or vanes. I'll have one on as soon as their out .

The "V" of the rest looks like metal? When you draw the bow, is there some noise ?

It is metal but has a shrink tube over it. I put a tight fleece on mine for total silence

I noticed that you fleece not adhering due to your fletching hitting??? Sure would be nice if they had a better launcher.

You know you can just increase the spring tension on your QAD to make it drop faster.
