I'm pretty sure that's the Pro.

Is there only ONE limbdriver rest? What is the limbdriver pro?

Which one will fit my 82nd?
There is only one Limb Driver and it is now called the Limb Driver Pro. You do have choices of LH, RH, Black, Silver,Solid Limb, or Split Limb. APG Camo will also be offered this year and I was told they should be available in 1 to 2 weeks. They really are a nice rest. Easy setup, Easy to tune, no timing issues, and no resulting clearance problems. Here's a pic of mine setup for hunting very quiet and the arrow is very stable:D

Check them out on my website;)

I have yet to try the Limbdriver, but from everything I have heard from those that have them is that they are the best performing dropaways they have had. Most of these guys go through alot of equipment so that says something.

There are three main reasons I haven't switched to the Limbdriver:

1. I want full containment while hunting. Now I know the Limbdriver fans will say "It's virtually impossible for the arrow to fall off of the Limbdriver with the arrow holder." Be that as it may, it is not full containment.

2. The areas I hunt are not conducive to that long limb rope. I could very easily see myself pulling that rope out on the way to my stand because it is so long, and the stuff I go through is so thick. Not really a knock on the rest, just the style of hunting I do and the areas I hunt are very thick and nasty.

3. I see no reason to switch from what I've got. I've been happier with my current rest than I ever have been before with a rest and it offers everything I need. Unless asked I won't post what it is so I don't hijack the Limbdriver thread.

With that said there is no perfect rest. The Limbdriver offers a solution to an issue that has plagued dropaways for a long time and that is eliminating the pull on the cables. It also has a design that creates a longer time of arrow contact with complete clearance which means better shot to shot consistency. It is also one of the easiest dropaways to install and set up as well. As far as new and innovative dropaway rest designs go, it is a winner.

If you are snagging that rope. You HAVE to be snagging the cables. Not once, has that rope gotten in my way. Not to mention it would still be pretty tough to pull the rope out.

Last week Rob / PA set up my 2006 Ally with a Limb Driver and I could not be happier. I like everything about the rest and it was very easy to set up. I was actually shooting indoors a little last night and it worked to perfection. I also like the fact that if I ever do change to a different model bow, I can swap the rest over and I'm good to go.The concept of it working off you limb instead of having to attached a cord to your down cable, I feel is the best way to go. I have tried many other drop aways andnow that I'm using the Limb Driver, I see no reason to change any time soon. Give one a try I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

I snag my cables, my string, my cams, my sight,my treestand, my pack, I can't wear a hat on the way to the stand because I'll spend more time looking for it and picking it up than walking, so yes it would get snagged. The thing is I don't have to worry about my cables pulling out, and if I do I've got bigger problems.;)

You hit on a few points I think about too. I like the full containment too. I have an older rest that holds the arrow in three places. I can turn the bow upside down and the arrow cannot fall off. The thing I had not thought of is snaggin the rope. I try to protect my bow anytime I go through any thick stuff but things happen. The fixed style of my older rest is nice less to go wrong and still reliable and acurate.

That being said it looks like a cool concept and may be a great rest. I've never used one so I only know what I have read.
