Serious question... have you ever had the string get wrapped around the handle on the reel? if so ... what happened?

i might have missed someone else asking but did you try a qd rest, i want to tie to the back but worry about doing it with the QD, don't know if anyone else does it or has tried, and i don't have the money to be testing and loosing a bunch of arrows either i guess that is why i never tried

Brady when you tie to the back and it comes undone I am going to guess you are shooting threw gar. Little tip here when you stick it threw the hole go around the arrow under the line and then over the nock it wont come off misterisly again.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to shoot slides or tie to the back. This is my first year shooting with a spinner. Question is why do some hate slides so much. They take away the problem breaking line and loosing arrows, making sure line Is laid in the rest every time, and getting line tangled in your reel. Looking for some info thanks. Btw great video Brady

good video but I'm still not sold...lol.. I really gave it a honest go last year and hated it... I can load my arrow faster when shooting numbers with slides... only time I liked shooting tied to the back was with a reel seat that sat above my hand for some reason...

whats your draw length on the Oneida...? reason I ask is after I watched the video I grabbed my Tom cat and BE and both pull the knock off the serving about half draw on a 31in draw use the Strait Shooter Rod... my wifes wheel bow doesn't pull the arrow off until she is about a inch or so from full draw 25in... but with the muzzy rod it pulls off about half way into her draw...

About the only way 200# FF wont break is if you're drawing less than 25 pounds and are snapshooting.

I think in Bradys first vid he breaks the line with 18# BUT NOT SNAP SHOOTING but still neat.

I have shot with slides most of the time 150 power pro always breaks It gets in the heat and I might have to much line out and wraps the handle. POW it has broken everytime.
Last year i shot spinner and epoxy tied to the back it worked ok but loading the line in the groove seemed to be just awkward at times but it did work well.

Great video maybe we should get a machine shooter video with retriver and show a couple snap backs might just help people under stand why not to tie to the back with them. At least the newbies that have just started shootin

one of the main dislikes of slides is that with them you can draw and shoot without pushing the button,which then you have a blown up reel....vs....a tangle every now and then,and a lost arrow.You do the math between new arrow or new spinner.Also My arrows seem to fly more consistent tied to the back.Its the way I have done it since day one and just works for me.Looking back I honestly can not remember ever having a loop come off either?
