Default Another question about drop aways

I am looking at geting a drop away rest and have heard a lot of good things about a lot of them but I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with The Wammy by SpotHogg. If so what are your opinions on them?



Thanx
Scrat

I tried a Whammy on my Marquis this spring, but i was unable to successfully time the prongs to clear my fletch. I tried everything I could, but I just couldn't time it quite right. I recently put on a Vital Gear Kaz Away which the local pro shop owner was familiar with, and put it on for me, no problem.

I would like to point out that I'm very much a novice, so it's likely my inexperience that I couldn't tune up the Whammy. Other than that, it definately was a solid, well constructed design and the support from SpotHogg was first rate. They bent over backwards to help me, including mail me different prong designs. I just couldn't figure it out. Good luck with the Whammy, I'm sure it's a great rest if you can get it set up!

Pretty much anything that Spot Hogg makes is top quality stuff.
That being said, I have heard of some people that have had issues setting up the Whammy. Including some notes from Spot Hogg themselves saying that it will not work with some bows.

I would recomend that you take a look at the Vapor Trail Limb Driver. It simply is the easiest drop away I have ever set up, and has not needed any adjustments with respect to timing in over 2 years.

IMO,the Whammy is the best rest on the market.As far as I know,the only bow it doesn't work on is the Vectrix,which is stated on their website.


It provides maiximum quidance and clears the fletching at the very last second.
