First it's important to distinguish between the different ways to actuate a rest.
Limb Driven- The internal torsion spring is holding the launcher in the up position and tension on the cord at rest/brace is what holds the launcher down. This cord is attached to the limb and will become slack...
I have seen a few cases where the cord contacted the LoPro quiver, but this is corrected by putting the cord knot on the inside edge of the limb instead of the outside. Let me know if you have any questions with the rest set up.
One thing to check is that you are fully seating the cord in the rebound dampener so that it doesn't move after a few shots. Once I have the cord attached to the limb, I will weave the cord through the rebound dampener so that the dampener is down close to the limb. I'll then wrap the cord...
The O-Rings we use are as follows
OD: 9/32"
ID: 5/32"
I also started weaving the cord a little differently through my easy glide and it grips great even without an o-ring.
As the popularity of limb driven rests continues to increase, Hamskea would like to make sure dealers and customers are able to get the best performance out of their limb driven arrow rest. One of the key components of this is identifying the correct location to attach the actuation cord on...
The reason the Mathews Approved Bracket is only for 2020 or newer bows is due to the riser thickness. In 2020 Mathews increased the thickness of the riser when they released the VXR bows. This doesn't just affect if the rest will be sitting at 13/16 out of the package, it will also decrease...
We have found that 50-70% guidance is an acceptable range that offers great accuracy. But with some of the other testing we have done, we found that favoring the lower end of the range puts less shock into the rest components due to the speed the limb pulls the rest down and is quieter on the...
We are finding that the VXR has a similar limb flex and the 2-2.5" is a great starting point.
We don't have a video on the website for replacing the activation cord, but we do have videos on the website and our youtube channel going over arrow rest setup. Unfortunately we haven't had time to...
Mark the cord on both sides of the cord clamp with a silver sharpie. This will make it very evident if the cord is pulling through the cord clamp. If it isn't pulling through the cord clamp, then the cord might just be seating in the Rebound Dampener. After I tie the cord to the limb, I like...
The Launcher Angle Stops are independent of each other. The screw closest to the riser adjusts where the launcher sits in the down position and the screw closest to the shooter adjusts where the launcher stops at full draw. I don't typically recommend adjusting the down stop since it is meant...
It looks like the launcher isn't quiet straight on your rest for some reason, but luckily this is an easy fix. Loosen both screws and put pressure on the center of the launcher V where the arrow sits. This will help to center the launcher so that you can then tighten both screws. I keep...
Sorry that I hadn't seen this earlier. I would have to guess that the cord tension was the cause of the issue. if the cord isn't tight holding the launcher in the down position, it could allow the launcher to "flutter" or lift as the arrow passes causing the contact. When I set up my rests, I...
When considering limb flex you will notice that the limb tip is the location with the most travel through the draw cycle. The amount of distance traveled will decrease as you move further from the limb tip and towards the limb pocket. When choosing where to attach the activation cord, the main...
I haven't worked with the V3X personally, but it is very similar to the V3 as far as limb flex. I would recommend attaching the activation cord about 2-2.5" from the limb tip.
We haven't found any negative effects from leaving the cord under tension for long periods of time. I can tell you that no one at Hamskea releases the tension on any bows when they don't plan on shooting for awhile.
