Anyone heard of arrow speed interfering with a drop down rest?

    There's only a couple of rests that can't fail, several that rarely fail, and quite a few more that fail a little more frequently. Naturally, the rests with the most parts are more prone to failure.
    Total vane clearance is more elusive than the current pool of bowhunters realizes.
    Does the QAD fall into the unreliable category?

      I switched from the original RipCord because it was not clearing fast enough on my 82nd Airborne.

        I love the way the QAD works when it's functioning properly.

          I'd go with this and that a NAPQuiktune sucks!

            It took two months before I could get a QAD that would drop fast enough so the vanes would not hit on my Rezeen. Once it was set I have checked it several times and still no contact at all. I had nothing but trouble with the Ripcord before it, so if it ever fails on me I'm goin back to the WB.

              I shoot a 80# Monster with QAD on it and have had no problems with it. I had my bow put on a draw board and timed out

                    Maybe I'll just go with the whisker biscuit! Dangit, I just want a silent drop away. Anyone know anything about the Pronghorn Trophy dropaway? They had on on the DXT and the Alphamax at Smithfield and they were both silent.

                      Just looked up that sight and it got 4.9 out of 5 stars.

                        Shooting the Quad on my Reezen 6.5 and love it. I have had no issue of any kind with it.

                              This dealer is very competent and knowledgable.
                              If you put a WB on your bow, and have problems, you will not be able to blame the rest.

                                Ive Got a Rip-Cord Code Red, Fall Away Rest, on my New Z7. Im Shooting Over 300 fps, have Zero Contact and is very fast and smooth. I Love It. Give It A Try, and go to An Archery Pro That Knows what he is doing. Believe it or not some fall-aways when watched in super slo-motion actually fall, then bounce back and hit fletchings. Code Red has a brake that locks and stops that from happening. My 2 cents worth........
