fletching drag on QAD rest

ddsnannychaser · 07-11-2007, 08:16 PM

i have a bowtech alliegence with a QAD rest that i bought last year and have had nothing but problems with. i shoot gold tip pro hunters and have tried all diferent kinds of fletchings and everything i try still drags. does anyone have any suggestions or know a rest that is 100% guaranteed not to drag. i don't care what it cost i just want this problem resolved.

Thanks alot,

Where is the fletching dragging? I have the exact same set-up and have no clearance issues with Blazers. I did have to move my rest forward a little to get the flipper to drop faster.

Is the flipper parallel with the string at full draw?
Is the nock 1/8" or so above parallel?

the flipper is paralllel, i've been shooting the cock feather down and it is hitting on the left side of the fletching, i have also tried shooting the cock feather up i have not tried moving the rest up

You should be shooting cock feather up with the QAD. Also, check your center shot.

i will do that, and i did notice that my rest is pretty far forward, bout halfway up, thanks alot for the advice.

I had to move the rest up to where the rod for the flipper is almost toughing the riser if that helps at all.

i will keep messing with it like i said i will try anything, the fletching clearance problem is causing my arrows to kick and shooting blazer vanes with fixed blade broadheads reallly makes it noticable

Hey DAVE; did you move it forward because it was not dropping fast enough? Just curious because I'm fixing to buy a commander and want to shot a drop away and the guy told me that some drop aways don't drop fast enough for clearence with the faster bows today.I really loke the drp away and want to stay with them if I can.

Yes, I did have to move it forward to get it to drop fast enough at 73#'s and291 fps. The QAD uses a spring to drop the flipper. Some just use gravity.

Here are pics of my rest.

Thanks for the info. I did'nt know if the guy who told me that was just trying to sell me a wb or not.
