RE: Ripcord, QAD, or Trophy Taker rest?
It looks like you have decided on the QAD already and I think you will be happy with it. I have the Pro model on my Bowtech Defender and it works great. I did have to adjust the spring because I am shooting 295fps. There are some good tips in this thread already.
-Position the rest as close to the riser as possible. Many problems are caused by people setting it to far back.
-Make sure that it is high enough that the prongs will at least lay horizontal when in the resting postion. If they are angled up, you will have clearance problems.
-Adjust the cord properly.
-I shoot my arrows with the cock vane up.
-If you need the rest to drop faster, there is a pdf with instructions on how to do this. I can email it to you or Charles Beasley will send it to you if you ask for it.
-If you need more left adjustment, the rest comes with a horizontal spacer. Use that. If that isn't enough, move the prongs over to the next set of holes in the shaft. Should be more than plenty.
Good luck and PM me if you have any questions.
