Liberty is back from the grave :)
Finally got the Liberty back from the shop! W00t!
Some of you may recall the dilemma I had.. received the bow (used) with cracked limbs on arrival. Turns out, my local dealer came through and I didnt have to pay $150 for a set of new limbs, just for some labor.
Now I am looking for a good sight and rest for it. It will be my dad's hunting bow this year but after the season is over I am stealing it for my 3D bow. Any recommendations on a single-pin slider sight > $100?
I have a ripcord drop away on my Tomkat and want to try something else on the Liberty. I was considering either a drop zone or a VBG Kaz-away. Has anyone had problems with their drop-aways not dropping fast enough?

Wow, that's some sweet news. Make sure to remember how good that pro-shop worked for you when it comes time for new stuff. Did he have any sliders under 100?
My neighbor shoots a cobra and likes it. I shoot a vital bow gear pro-slide and like it as well.
There was a guy GIVING away a slider on the bowhunting page a day or two ago and lastI saw the thread no one had asked for it.
As far as a drop away not falling fast enough, usually it's more of a nock travel & tuning issue if there is any rest to fletching contact- not the speed of the drop.
AlthoughI haven't fooled with it, the new cobra drop looks interesting. In my experience the drop zone was a tad easier to set up than a trophy taker- but those are the only two I've fooled with.
I hope your dad enjoys it!

As for the dropaway...I like the drop zone out of the two you mentioned.

I have an impact cosmic single pin and on a bear hunt this past week it gave me at least an extra 1/2 hour of shooting light compared to the Spott Hogg ( 3 times the price of my cosmic ) that my buddy was using. As for a rest I love my APA Twister Safari drop away. It's full containment, great for hunting.
