Default Trophy Taker operated by cable slide?

Just wondering if anyone has used your bows cable slide to activate a Trophy Taker drop-away rest. Setting up the rest by attaching it to the harness is a little meticulous. I switched to Winner' s Choice strings this year and had to serve the rest' s cord to the side of the buss cable rather than inserting it through. I wasn' t too wild about that set-up.

Thanks,

Tyler

I' ve seen many people put in on their cable slide. It works great as long as you have enough cable slide travel. An example: my Bowtech Patriot has only about 5/8" to 3/4" travel, NOT ENough! Most bows works fine though.

Good Luck!

I have a Bowtech slide on my Pro40 and it has a hole for the lanyard and it works great. I' d use a teflon unit if it wasn' t for that. The BT slide hasn' t harmed my cables at all so all is well.

As C-9 mentioned, on some of the VFT style bows (Patriot, ExVFT, etc) you will have problems using the cable slide attachment, you will need to attach to the cable itself.

I have it on my BowTech VFT with the cabe slide,and have had NO problems with it,and there are several guy' s shooting it the same way on there Patriots,and again have had No problems,you just have to shorten the cable on the rest until it comes up all the way.

JeramyK, I currently shoot the TT on my 02 patriot and it works well. I have the string from the TT served into my cable. I am not sure it the cable slide attatchment will give enough travel. JMHO

I' ve been using the NAP 4000s since they came out with no problems. On my Pat Dually I used the NAP slide with the cable. On my P40 Dually I used the BowTech slide with a piece of loop rope. In the future I' ll use the BowTech slide & rope. BTW, I also had this rest on my 02 Pat & still have one on my 01 Mighty Mite.

Thanks for the info.

I just put a GK Infinity rest on my Patriot so I' m going to stick with that. I' ll probably look into the TT when the time comes to move to a 04 bow.
