I didn't see anything on their website saying you can't shoot Aluminum.

I did all summer long. I plan to work with it again after the season.

I love the rest. I am too picky and couldn't get my broadheads and field points to hit the same point. Instead of just adjusting my sights I played with the rest. I had major fletching contact and being so close to the season(week before) I went with a prong style rest. After the season the QAD is going back on. If I have to adjust my sights so be it. I feel it is a great rest.

The rest operates the same regardless of the arrow that is being shot out of it. When it is locked, it is not as far back as it will go. The way that it releases if by being pulled further back (by a string attached to the cable during the shot) and being released (releasing the shot). When it is released, it springs back forwards, and this forward momentum causes it to fall. It is irrelevant what arrow is on the string.
