Limb Driver Experts.
Ok I brought a Limb Driver off Dan (meanv) good guy and great customer service.
Today I installed it on my Marquis and found a problem with the Roller guard.
The rope for a better word that attaches from the rest to the limb rubs on the roller guard rod.
Now this does not stop the rest from working but over time it is going to wear the camo film off that section and could ( note I did say COULD ) wear through the rope.
I will add the rest was installed as per instructions.
Looking over the rest if the lever where the rope attaches to the rest was on the inside this would not be a problem but I can not move it as there is a little stop bar that would also have to be moved.
Sorry about the pic quality I had to use my phone as my batteries in my digi cam are flat.

RE: Limb Driver Experts.
I just looked at the one I have on my solid limb bow and it lays against my cable slide bar just like yours lays against the roller guard. There are no wear marks at all (8 months of use, probably over a 1500 shots at the very least) and I'll tell you why. As you look at the cable now it is tight, keeping the rest down. As you draw the cable begins to go slack which allows the rest to rise up. So the cable does not really rub up and down it just gets taught or loose. There may be a minor bit of "rub" but if you watch it while you draw you won't see much "up and down" motion, just tight and slack.

I received one of the very first Marquises off the line, and immediately installed a Limbdriver. Killed a deer within a day or two (there's a thread about it somewhere in the anals of history), as well as four more over the course of the season. Shot it pretty much daily if not every-other-day for that time duration, and even shot a 3d tourney with it -- and my finish on the roller guard arm looks just as good as it did the day I got it.
Like Dan said, I don't think there's enough pressure being applied to that arm to do anything to the finish.

If I understand correctly,the string has no pressure once you start to draw the bow so there is a very short period time during the shot that the string makes contact so it really isn't rubbing,IS IT?
Just something to think about.

Maybe I am a little on the anal side when it comes to something making contact with my bow
It could be something that Vapourtrail can address in the future, it would not take much to drill a hole and put another pin on the inside of the rest so who ever can set the cord attachment to where they want it, which would stop all contact with the roller guard and offer some protection of the cord.
