Limbdriver or Whammy

[M-Tecs]

I have an XL Xtreme on the way. I am looking for feedback on the Spot-Hogg Whammy http://www.spot-hogg.com/products_arrowrests_whammy.shtml or the Vapor Trail Limbdriver.

I am leaning towards the Limbdriver ,but since the Whammy is the same type of rest I am hoping to get some feedback from people that have seen both. Vapor Trail is just up the road for me and I am familiar with them. I have never seen a Whammy

Thanks, Joel

i shoot a limbdriver and whould have it any other way!!! ive never hade a problem with it

[Archery-Addiction]

I have had them both, no question, get the limb driver!!!

A buddy of mine has last years whammy and didnt like it. He swapped it for a dropzone. We both thought that the whammy had to much going on to make a very dependable rest.

I have the LD on my Envy. Best move I ever made.

I have a Whammy on the other bow (Mathews), I think it's very nice in it's design and build but it does have a few issues I discovered after playing with it for a year. I used it hunting this last season and had no problems at all, and arrow clearance was great with just about every fletching I tried. I have no problems recommending it for a single cam bow / hybrid cam bow.

On my GTO that's getting here, I'll be putting on a limbdriver for a drop away, or a hostage pro for a full capture. Everything I've read and researched leads me to believe that the less stress placed on a binary style cable the better timing will be achieved, and maximize the performance. The LD is the only drop away I know of that doesn't use the cable system of the bow to function.

But a Whammy doesn't interfere with the cables since it uses the up cable and doesn't put pressure on the cables at full draw.....so it's a moot point.

The Whammy is a very nice drop-away rest. If it weren't for the Whisker Biscuit, I'd be keeping mine.

True - for single cam bows or hybrid cam bows. The up cable on these systems are tied to the main string, not the portion of the cam that's loading during the draw that is suseptable to timing issues. On a binary cam bow, both the up cable and the down cable are responisble for loading - both upper and lower cams are the same, as the main string has nothing to do with "cam" part - so placing any kind of attachment to either of the up or down cables will cause an imbalance to one of them. Keep in mind it'll be very slight, but it's something I don't want to risk, so I'm going to use either a LD or a WB/Hostage depending on what I think I'll need most this season!

I have had both rests. The only one that I have now is the Limbdriver. Best drop away out...IMO:soapbox:

[taylorwho]

2nd bow with the limbdriver. Best fall away I have ever used.

[Maybee-R]

Dont have the Limb driver so cant say. But I would think twice about the Whammy. I didnt get along with it at all.

[M-Tecs]

Thanks for all the advise. I ordered a Limb Driver:shakehands:

[wolverine75]

I shoot Limb Drivers only. I hunt in the S.C low country swamps and have never had an issue with any I own. I also shoot about 3-4 hrs a day with L/D's on target set ups. Haven't shot one apart yet.

LD, but Whammy is supposed to have a new version on the market last month that works with Bianry Cam bows.

[KARBON]

I cut my connection cord on my rest last year...and I'm a careful hunter(dang wire fence) but it happened.

LUCKY for me I use a Limb Driver and just hooked up a new cord (that I keep in my pack now, not just in the truck) and I was back up and running in 10min.

That, coupled with the results is the reason I'll never use another rest.

I would agree that changing to a LD was the best decision I have made on my bow in a long time.

Same here. After this thread and a couple others I put on a LD rest. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I will eventually change over all my Bows.:thumb:

[loomis]

Just put one on my GTO and all i can say is wow one of the simplest rest i have set up in a long time,Should have bought one when they first hit the market,Great rest easy to tune,and groups you cant beleave,:freakjam:
