Considering New Rest-QAD or Ripcord?

Noveggieman · 03-17-2006, 07:32 AM

Hopefully this doesn't sound tooodd. I have a Martin Razor X, Nitrous cams. I use it only for hunting, so I put on the same rest I started archery with-a Whisker Biscuit. I can't say I'm dissatisfied with it, but it does add some noise and I get the occasional flyer at targets. Lately, been looking at dropaways and these 2 rests both have the capture feature I like for hunting purposes. Just looking for input on thoughts on whether to stay with the biscuit or switch to the d-a. I am a little concerned about the effect a cord attachment would have on a shoot through system, but I believe a dropaway will make a big difference on noise output and accuracy. Anyone else been down this road?[/align]

the big thing is tuning if the rests arent tuned right, neither of tem will shoot good... i think one is just as accurate as te other if tuned properly... altough the biscuit will likely rip your vanes...

my last bow had a biskit on it wanted a ripcord but they were very hard to come by at the time new on market so i put a biskit on was very happy with it worked great . now just bought a switchback xt got a ripcord love it works great but as for the QAD compared to the ripcord is like compareing apples to apples so close to the same thing other then the stay up capture of theQAD they are the same rest pick what you like QAD has a hunter model little cheaper might be all ya need to buy one save a few bucks. but qas far as differances not much

buy the QUAD!

i have 1 on my hoyt pro-tec the big difference between the 2 is the quad you can COCK the holder up

so the arrow is contained the whole time until you shoot. i do beleive the ripcord has the arrow laying on the SHELF until you draw the bow back. just my 2cents good luck and have FUN shooting you're BOW&ARROW

I purchased a Reflex Super Slam in the fall and it came with a whisker biscuit drop tine. I shot with this setup for a while, but found at longer ranges [40 yds and further] I wasn't getting the consistant arrow flight I was looking for. I then put a QAD ultra rest on and what a difference!!! I'm not recomending the QAD spacificallly. I also was looking at the Ripcord. Ebay has both rests available @ great prices from many different dealers. I just wanted a camo one and the QAD Ultra was there @ a good price. It was easy to set up and shoots great. I'm sure eather one is good. Good luck.

You can cock the RipCord and contain the arrow but you CANNOT let down the RipCord without the rest falling.

With the QAD, you can let down and they arm will remain in the raised position.
