RE: Speed with Drop Aways
I am not sure how any got the TTs to work on these bows. The design is not as smooth as the limb driver. The metal is carbon steel or a forged material; whereas, the limb driver is a machined stainless steel working off the force of the limb and not using a spring to drop away. The spring on the limb driver is to lift the arrow into place. Completely different design. I am not saying that someone didn't get it to work because I am certainly amazed with the knowledge on this site. I can tell you that I am convinced that the limb driver is the best drop away for these bows based on my trials to date. My fletching is still hitting the lancher but it is a very slight smudge that happens ~50% of the time. I placed mole skin on the lancher and the corner is pealing a bit. I am not in any leagues nor do I practice half as much as most on this site, but I was able to hit 29Xs out of 60. I have a couple pictures:

RE: Speed with Drop Aways
ORIGINAL: niehenke
I just got a new 101 and I really don't like the WB. If you attempt to make a slight adjustment, the whole rest moves. Never was comfortable with this rest over the 2 weeks that I had it. On my old bow, I had a quick tune. Based on my readings, I just was at gander and bought the TT FC and couldn't get it tuned. The drop was not faster than the arrow. I adjusted it as loose as it could be and still, my 3 inch vanes were marking the felt. The drop is not smooth. I am shooting 310fps with a WB. Has anyone else had this issue with drop aways. My next try will be the QAD pro but I read a few reviews about some failing and the cool weather was an issue. Can anyone assist?

RE: Speed with Drop Aways
They don't make them for the 101 or 82 YET. In another thread, it sounds like there might be something coming out. I know I would buy one based on the reviews. I can tell you that the limb driver that I have now is lifting the arrow off the driver. The lift is adjustable bya spring but it is extremely sensative. Not enough and I shoot low because the arrow doesn't lift to the max and too much spring bounces the arrow off the driver on the lift. I a lot of it I amsure is me. The 101 that I have has a very hard break. I'll keep practing to see if I can get it to where I want it before season. I will say that it is sweet for target shooting. I am not a great shooter, never competed in any forum other than with my dad, and hit 29 xs out of 60 arrows at the local shop last weekend. I give 70% of the credit to the people developing this technology and those helping me make better decisions.
