I just put a LD on my Hoyt. So far I like it. Easy set up and works great with FOB's

nothing much exept .00003221435 of a second faster fall away rate than cable powered rests which means better clearance

I just bought a limb driver a few days ago, it fealt like I was cheating that thing set-up and tuned within a couple of shots. I have tryed trophy takers and a trophy ridge, which in order to get the full tune out of my hybrid cams, It took a balance between tweaking the bow to the rest and the rest to the bow. After all this hassle the cord would slip or stretch

The actual difference is the amount of support the arrow receives between the two. The Limbdriver supports the arrow for about 2/3 of the arrow length compared to 1/3 the arrow length that most drop aways do (that connect to the bows cable), I didn't believe this until I saw it with my own eyes by putting my bows on a hooter shooter and cranking them out to full draw, big difference between the two.
I have used the Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter and the QAD LD before, but am now switching to Limbdrivers after seeing this.

I've shot both. Limb Driver was excellent and very accurate, easy setup. But, strictly for hunting I would go with the QAD all day long for the ease of the "cock it" and there's no way for your arrow to fall off in the treestand or stalking. QAD is very easy to setup also. Get the limb driver if you want a great rest. Get the QAD if you want a great "hunting" rest.

For hunting I love my QAD, flip it up and you set, full containment. Great for stalking. I've had mine for about 3 years and never had it fail. When my GTO gets here it will have a new QAD HD on it.
Can't say anything about the LD I've never tried one. But if somebody wants to send me one I'll be more than happy to try it out.:wink:

I have always thought one of the perk's of fallaway's was the least amount of human input... less error?
Exactly what I would say. You'd never convince me the LD is a better rest suited for hunters over anything that has true arrow containment.

I got a LD with my X-force that I got on here on the classifieds. I had never owned one before this. But I really like how the limbs pull it out of the way of the fletching.
My friend just got a QAD HD and we set it up on his Guardian that he bought on the classifieds on here. I really like it as it was easy to set up and adjust. I also really liked how it was full containment, as I could see how that would be a real benefit when hunting.
Conclusion: I like both rests about equally well. But the QAD probably gets the nod for hunting due to the containment.

Both are great rests.
I have set up, tuned and shot both.
I prefer the QAD hands down- especially for hunting.
The main two points I hear people making about the limbdriver are: it supports the arrow longer, and it has to drop away because it is forced down.
I have used QAD rests for both tournaments and hunting for over 3 years and have not had a single problem. Most problems I have seen from others are from improper tuning and timing of the rest.
I have never had a QAD not drop, and I have never said to myself "Boy I wish that rest stayed up longer".
My field points and broadheads shoot better than I do. I personally do not believe that longer support is going to make a difference with a properly tuned bow.
So.. for me, I choose QAD for its advantages it has:
Quiet.
Reliable.
Full containment- EVEN ON LETDOWN.
There is not another rest on the market that can touch it IMO.
Again, they're both great rests. I just find far more I like about the QAD.
