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

[hunt247]

if you are hunting why chance it. what are you going to feel like when the buck of a lifetime steps out and your rest fails you

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.

Hey Rocky,
Am I going to have trouble with any of these rests on a 2008 PSE X-Force 6?

I'm trying real hard to keep from getting jumped here, so......
they all work well until they fail.
The rest I use can't fail.
Now here's where I'm gonna get jumped, but please remember that I see a lot of bows, and you asked.
I've seen more failures from the QAD than all others combined.
Sorry Qad fans.
If it is working and set-up properly, initially I think it will drop fast enough.

Had a dealer talk me out of (or try to at least) a drop away rest for a 2008 PSE X-Force 6 because he says it's so fast that the fletching will hit the rest before it can fall all the way. Has anyone had this issue or is that even possible? I was wanting a QAD rest.

You need a new dealer.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that this dealer is wrong, even Pete Sheply claims that alot of fall-away rests don't drop fast enough for some of today's speed bows. Chuck Adams goes so far as to reccomend using feathers with a fall-away due to this.
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.

What about the Apache? Is there one you like?

I've not tested the Apache, but assume it's a fall-away.

Again, when any of the fall-away rests are working properly, they perform well, but as far as me "liking" one, no, there's not one I like.

Well you obviously know the guy I'm talking about and I've gotten a PM from someone who used to work with him and says he knows more about bows than 3 or 4 dealers combined. I guess I'll just have to trust that he can set it up properly.
