Vital Bow Gear Ultimate Fallaway observation
After playing with this VBG fallaway on my new Liberty, I've found that the little "flipper finger" falls MUCH too slowly, no matter how its set. That being said, I removed the flipper arm, and have found that out of about 150 shots, not a single one had the slightest difference in flight other than an absolute straight line. However, now I'm kind of questioning the point of even having this rest, since I bought it for its arrow retaining abilities. I suspect I'll play around with it some more and see if I can come up with a way to make it work better. Has anyone else done any test that will concur with mine?

Did you notice that you had to set your arrow at least an arrow diameter above your berger button hole?

Update... 300 or so arrows through it without the flipper arm, and still havent had a single flier. Every single arrow is going straight to, and now, almost through the target. Havent had a single one fall off the rest yet either. I think Ill just put some fleece on my shelf and shoot it as is.

I am hearing a lot of good things on the trophy taker, guys. That is what I am putting on my bow.

I am beginning to wonder if a person's specific setup in regard to draw weight, draw length and the design of the bow may make certain drop aways more conducive for some folks and not others.

olink,I think you are absolutely right.
I had a Trophy Taker and never had any problems what so ever on my Hoyts.
I will be trying the VBG fallaway as soon as I get a chance to get to the shop and pick it up.I really don't think I will have much of an issue at all with it.But I am putting it on an Xtec pulling 28"-28 /2" draw at only 57#-58#'s.This doesn't yield the fastest speeds in the world and there should be plenty of cable movement to ensure clearance.
I am wanting to shoot the new ST Axis arrows from Easton and a fallaway is ALMOST a neccesity.
