Keep em coming guys! I have been using a bisquit for years but I am seriously thinking about going to a drop away. Most likely a ripcord because of the full containment aspect

Hairless I can't exactly vote correctly in the poll.

I wouldn't use anything else, and thats how I voted, however, I have had drop aways fail.

I have had issues with one QAD Ultra Rest Hunter, a few Ripcords, and even one Whammy. The ripcords are just junk if you ask me... nothing but negative encounters with them. There are several folks who use them with great success, and I wish them nothing but large deer and high scores. My experience has been different. The QAD I was able to remedy, or at least QAD remedied it for me. As did Spot Hogg.

I shoot a Schaffer off my Iron Mace, and while I didn't like it all that much at first (the arrow kept leaping off... course I was pulling a bit hard I suppose), it has really grown on me.. and I'm going to keep on with it. Off my Mathews LX, I have a QAD LD, and its another fantastic choice.

As far as arrow containment the vaportrail has none. the arrow can fall out at any time. its just a basic Y shape but nothing attaches to your cables/strings it attaches to the top limb hense the name Limbdriver. Containment would be a nice luxury but I dont find it necessary unless your shooting straight down (which I dont) the arrows stays on fine.
