Mystery solved
Well boys and girls the mystery with my 101st has been solved
The reason it was difficult to shoot is because it was only getting about 50% let-off
Reason why- The Qad rope was tied to close to the cable guard ( too high up on the cable)- which put the cables in a bind and reduced the let-off 65lbs was letting off to about 30lbs -
Spent two hours over at the archery shop tonight- and after moving and shifting the rope and a call to bowtech - it draws smoothly and I know I have let-off and it holds solid on spot
To save others time the rope was tied in about 3.5 inches below the bottom of the Qad -
So I will be decking it out for hunting and trying a bust a bird's behind in about 30 days

RE: Mystery solved
Another reason why the Limbdriver is an exceptional rest. It's activated by the limb movement, not tied to a cable.
Frank, I'm pleased you got that worked out and we appreciate you sharing that human error part of the equation. The 101 is an exceptional bow and I'm glad to hear your happy with it.

RE: Mystery solved
I have heard that tying the limbdriver to the limbs makes the bow a little louder and have heard of people putting silencers on the string have you witnessed this? I want to buy one and am shooting a WB right now but I think the limbdriver may be a better fit for me.

RE: Mystery solved
The funny thing after hearing about the LD on here I was in mid-process last night and that exact thought popped into my head - wished I had a limb driver and may wind up with one anyway - are they hard to install?

Not at all. It was so much easier than any other drop away I've used. The cord doesn't have to be served into the down cable. No press is needed, I was done in a few minutes and shooting.
