New drop away from GKF, the Captivator-

Looks like it uses cable impact to trigger the rest drop. Hard to tell for sure...

Hey, I'm not saying they don't have good products, or that this rest isn't interesting. It's the Pro staffers that get pretty nasty when anyone even suggests that some other company might be capable of an idea or two.

RE: Seen this yet?
I won't get Nasty. I like the QAD. Great concept. Glad to see GKF coming out with their own full containment fall away. Sure, the containment of the arrow is absolutely the same. Any retard can see that. As well as the concept of the arrow starting in the up position...but GKF had that first with another rest. To be honest, I have no clue how the rest is activated to fall away. I don't know if that's a spring steel rod that pushes the rest down or a pneumatic system of some sort. All I know is it will be perfect for my elk hunt next september in Idaho. It still doesn't beat the infiniti. Ideas are running out in my opinion, you can only rebuild a better mousetrap so many times.

RE: Seen this yet?
well I am also on GKF pro staff and I will not make any defence on their behalf.
The launcher does does look a lot like the QAD but they could be licensing the launcher design from QAD or it could be that QAD never submitted a pattent to begin with, who knows,
I personally have never used a QAD but for GKF to pay to be licensed to use the launcher design It must be a good set up.
I will be testing one soon and If I like it better than the TKO or the Infiniti I will use it and permote it
If I dont I wont[8D]
