RE: Limbdriver
Im actually using the target style launcher on my LD right now, and i believe i will use it for hunting next year if i can adapt the containment arms to it. I see no need in having the wider launcher if your arrow is held anyway.
Jeff, i forgot about this pic but this is how my 101st setup was. It had mike carter's strings on it and he made me a LD cord to match the rest of the strings.
THat seemed to do very well. It was super easy to adjust b/c all i had to do to change the up/down of the launcher was take off the bottom part of the cable and twist it, thus tightening or loosening the tension. Im probably going to make one like this for my AM now that i can do it for myself, i just havent gotten around to it yet.

Derek,
The Capture Launcher is a complete launcher in itself, that replaces the entire launcher.
I've never had to readjust tension on the cord that attaches to the Limb once I set it up.
Guess I'm lucky!

RE: Limbdriver
Dan,
Question for you. With the LD, is it possible to mount the rest in such a fashion that the arrow passes through the berger holes on the bow without have to mount the rest itself farther back, away from the shelf?
The reason I ask is that I am constantly finding that most rests will not allow this configuration on the Bowtechs. The holes are simply too low to achieve this without mounting the rest so far back that either A. the prongs are behind the shelf, or B. youraise the rest up and cut down theprongs to shorten them to lower the arrow.

Actually a rest is a little more forgiving if set back a tad.

RE: Limbdriver
In the pic it looks like the launcher contacts the shelf, and is cusioned by the foam. Is this correct?
That is what I have ended up with when I set up my QAD hunter as well, it seems to work OK.

RE: Limbdriver
Dan,
I was hoping that it was just an adapter[:@] Oh well, either way it doesnt really matter i dont guess...
The only reason i ever had to adjust the cordwas when i was changing DW back and forth on my 101st. I was going back and forth (not often) between 61 and 53#'s for spots. It was just convenient to be able to add or subtract a few twist to get the rest back to the right level.

Here is a pic from my 101st. It was pretty much centered on the berger hole. I was using axis shafts so they are pretty easy to do it with. The launcher is thin, not bulky so it makes it really easy to acomplish a good angle.

Derek, The poundage change explains why you have to mess with the cord. My Bows get buried and stay that way, but then I don't shoot indoors anymore

RE: Limbdriver
Oh yeah...LimbDriver RAWKS!
No noise issues.
Arrow flight right out of the gate was absolutely brilliant. Once I got the sight dialed in I was tagging nocks on the Maxima Selects (thank god for those new nock collars).

I new you would like it.
I would too,but I like my Whammy and it doesn't have the long cable for me to rip my rest off my bow with.[&:]

You might rip your cams off if you get'em hung up
