    Im shooting Piledrivers with the ripcord rest and when I draw the friction between the rest and the shaft makes a squealing sound. Anyone have a remedy for this? Im thinking either some kind of lubrication, or a thin fabric glued to the rest.

    Thanks

    Mole skin, or if you want to get fancy, you can sew a little cotton glove for the fork. That's what I used to do. :tu:

    Just buy one of the code red launchers and replace yours with the new style that has the 'built in' felt..... As mentioned, mole skin would work too...

    About $10 - link below to the BH.com store
