If it was a whitetail you were hunting, we'd look at different options. WB is just too noisy for those spooky critters (although they will still work on a whitetail if you get high enough in the tree :chuckle: )

QAD 156 bucks and made for what ever type bow you use!
The one that did not seem to work properly on my Bowtech wouldn't even fit on my Golden Eagle. :dunno: And the Revolution is about a third that cost.

Did you get the one that was made for the Bowtech? Or did you just get the Qad that can go on like universal? The one I bought last weekend for my Monster said mathews right on it, I took out one screw and put the new one on with the screw provided and tied the string to my down cable works flawless. Supposedly QAD is making them for all kinds of bows now, I just love how it holds the arrow in, how quiet it is and if you decide not to shoot just flick it with your thumb and it releases your arrow.

My QAD wasent bow specific on my Gaurdian. I remember Loki's issues with his new Invasion I believe. Wierd though as it is probably the best sight out there over all and always wins the polls...

All I know now is that they are making them for specific brands of bows instead of just the QAD, I was shooting the capture before and the brushes wear down way to fast..

By the way the ultrarest HD and LD have the EXACT same internal parts. Only difference is the HD has a dampener on it with a cord adjustment and a shorter mounting bar. The cord adjustment is handy but the dampener doesnt do anything, both the LD and HD make the same amount of noise.
Ive owned all three and prefer the trophy taker, its quieter, tougher, simpler, cheaper, and quicker to load. :tup:

not a fan of whisker biscuits wet or the combo of wet and frozen
The biscuit spray actually works quite well to stop the frozen whisker problems. http://scorpionvenomarchery.com/ (http://scorpionvenomarchery.com/)
I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked on the squaws bow this late Toutle hunt.
I was completely sold on the new RipCord SOS at the ATA this year. Best new product of the whole dang show! You will have to wait a little while as it is not shipping yet. But, if production models work as well as the show model I may never shoot anything else. They got me hook, line and sinker!

Limbdriver pro-v or trophy taker smackdown pro. Limbdriven is the way to go. You will never have any timing issues or fletching contact. Super easy to setup. Some people will serve or tie in the cord for a qad and then are screwed if it fouls up in the field. If I have a problem with the cord on my pro-v, it is so simple I could use a boot lace to repair it it I wanted. Don't like the cord that goes all the way to the limb? Why is it any different than the control cables?
Just personal preference. Even if that long cord is pre stretched, if it is snagged by brush it can and will change the timing of the rest. I have seen it. Take a cable driven trophy taker and tugg on the cord reasonably hard, it wont move. Now do the same thing to a limb driven cord and a lot of the time the rest will have raised up a tad, which changes how late the limb pulls the launcher down, which can change point of impact. This got in my head and bothered me, and if I dont have 100% confidence in something, I dont hunt with it. Awesome rest, just not for me.

That is what it comes down to. There is not much modern equipment that won't get the job done if used properly. It is mostly personal preference.
