Your oppinions please....Limb driver
 
Im thinking about closing the deal on one of these rests, and where it may seem as a small accessory to some, its more like an investment to me....

How truly good are these rests, not based on the fact that there new and cool with a whole new concept of drop-aways, but rather, the issues of how well they perform, group, and such.

I know they stay on the arrow 60-70% longer before actually dropping away. This seems like a good thing. Are there any cons to this rest?

I currently have a cobra diamondback dropaway, and while i was influenced to get it rather that the 360 last year when i bought it, i am fully pleased with its performance, after about a day of tinkering.
What difference will i notice between it and my current one.

Is this rest the best way to go for me? For hunting and some 3-D on the side thati really enjoy andlooking to get better at. I just want to make sure im making a wise decision in this and not just wanting to hang with the cool kids:eek:.

I like mine ALOT!

It'll be on my hunting bow until something better comes out. It's the easiest drop away to set up, ever. I was VERY skeptical when I decided to get mine, but after I got it, I knew it was a fantastic rest. If you want me to, I can bring my hunting bow with me so you can check it out?

Well, I just installed 2 for my bows, one on the 82nd and the other on the General. I did so on the recommendation of Matt / PA, Greg / MO, MeanV and others who I trust as far as equipment choices. I have my own ideas from time to time and try to stay open for suggestion. I think there are many guys on here I trust who love the Limbdriver, if you trust my judgement, it's an excellent rest. You'll be pleased.

Was it not the EASIEST drop away set up, ever?

A phrase used in your question caught my attention -- that this was going to be more of an investment, and not just a simple accessory. Believe me, I know where you're coming from. I remember those days well.

What's nice about the Limbdriver is its universal fit on all bows. It's no secret I'm a Zero Effect fan -- on a bow that they'll work on. With the Limbdrivers, if you ever sell or change bows, you can keep your rest knowing that it will work on your next bow -- and that you don't have to sell it at a loss or throw it in with the bow. That makes for a great investment. ;)

HeyGreg according to my shop no drop away will work on my 99 Hoyt due to the overdraw and the measurement from the rest to the cable I think he stated.. I will post a pic and get your thoughts? Thx *Please no 'get a bowtech bow then' remarks fella's*

Ok this is the best I can do for a pic right now any help is great help thx.

Nah, we would never do that to you Tony... ;)

I'm not that familiar with the bow you're talking about, but we'll see if we can help. :)The only reason I can see that the distance from the rest to the limb (length of the cable) would matter is if the supplied cord is too short; in that case, it would be a simple matter of getting a longer piece of d-loop material (or braiding a piece of kevlar as Matt / PA is doing on his to eliminate stretch).

A solid limb, Limbdriver Pro will fit.


As far as the different models, I THINK they offer a target model. Then they have the Limbdriver Pro, which has easier adjustments than the standard Limbdriver. I think the Limbdriver Pro, is a new model. That's the one that I have.
