I can also add that when I was playing with one, I could let it down VERY fast without it firing... but when I really fired it, it fired. I was impressed that I could let down as fast as I was doing and it would stay up like it did.

Found this video,looks like a fine rest but it sure doesn't look like it stays up nearly as long as the Limb driver,or whammy.
Not a bash at all,I really like it,might even try it but it just doesn't look like it stays up that long to me.Am I missing something?

My question is....Are they going to provide different prongs for it? All of the pictures I saw of it had prongs that looked similar to the Trophy Taker standard prong. Not very good for hunting.

Yeah this rest kinda reminds me of the QAD LD- except on the QAD (LD) you need to cock it first-it's not like the older QAD where you could draw and have it come up.
I was checking out the vid for the Tripwire the other day.Heh, John H. is the big TV spot star now, eh? Could one of you guys tell him I said "hi", please?
As for the rest I'm sure it's going to be extremely well done, Looks solid. But I personally prefer a simpler design- Trophy Taker, Limb Driver, etc.
I'll agree with Muzz too-If you are going to compete with the QAD, LD, and convert people off of Biscuits and Hostages, you are going to need more containment/a wider launcher.
whats the retail on it going to be?

....I think it is a west coast thing.....at least that is what I was lead to believe. 
Coug,
I haven't played with the tripwire yet but was eyeing up the video as well.
