Brought home the Alpha Max 32 tonight.....no accessories picked out yet. I need the ultimate setup for hunting and 3D so let's hear it. Tell me what and why.....feel free to argue among yourselves as to why your choices are the best and someone else's are, well just plain dumb. All opinions will get their due consideration, except the dumb ones. :D

Oooooo....setting the bar pretty high right off the get up and go....don't think you missed much.

Anybody noticed any noise using the LimbDriver rest? I shot the dealer's personal hunting bow with it and it seemed to make a "springy" noise. Not really loud, but i'm picky.

I am picky too but once I tried one I'm hooked.
That's why I am going to use the NAP drop away arrow holder/pad. It runs the whole length of the shelf, front to back and the launcher will hit that when it drops. I'm just trying to find one without having to pay as much in shipping as I do for the arrow holder itself.... I have a piece of molehair on it now but it don't make much noise. When that NAP pad goes on there it won't sound like anything.

PM JCMorgan31. He sells them and has a good price and great service and advice.

Hello. Is this customer service? Yes, well then i'm calling to let you guys know that your Limbdriver rest makes too much noise so i can't hunt with it. No, i can't return it for a refund, its not installed on MY bow. No, i don't have the receipt, i didn't pay for it. Well, i'm just letting you guys know you make a sub-par product and that's why i didn't spend my money on it is all. Well, there's no reason to get nasty with me about it ma'am....it's your product.

What is the launcher hitting ? Just curious because you should be able to use mole hair and get rid of that noise. I do know of the noise you speak of though.

When i took it back he put some mole hair on it but i still can hear a humming kinda noise. Its not that loud at all but i Hunt with it and want it as quiet as i can get it.

Check out the video on vapor trail's web site.
It's pretty neat because the limb drive seems to support the arrow a lot longer than a typical drop away does. And then the thing slams down at the very last split second. The viedo is pretty neat to look at anyway. And the design is very sound. It's very well built. I'm picky about fit and finish and how many moving parts there are. This rest is elegantly simple.

The G5 rest is getting pretty good reviews. I don't know how it would fit on the AM though. It's supposed to be real quite. I have no issues with my LD, just throwing out another option. My TT has been bombproof too, but it's not quiet.
I also use a tureball tornado w/buckle, but I'd look at a carter 2shot or quicky. Supposed to have a great trigger.
Axe the handheld, they're for girls. :wave:

So far i've liked all the G5 stuff i've tried but i haven't looked at that rest. I see they make a Hoyt specific model too....

I typically like full capture rests BTW, but i'm keeping an open mind and i didn't put any limitations on what you guys could recommend.

I'm shooting a QAD Ultra Rest Pro dropaway on my General and i like it but i get the impression that it's sensitive to setup and timing. I've heard that it is prone to not dropping away even though i've personally had no issues with it. :noidea:

Here's my opinion Pilot...

1) Limbdriver Rest
2) Carbon Express Maxima's (correctly spined)
3) Fuse Axium (6")
4) SkyCoil 4-pin Sight
5) Keep the Fuse strings until they wear out, then get some VaporTrails
6) Cat whiskers

Give that set-up a try. I think you'll be happy with the set-up. My brother just bought this set-up, very effective at vibration dampening, and very quiet.

Let me know what you decide. Great purchase by the way! Great bow!
