I shoot the cock bird on my Blazer vanes on the QAD rest at 12 o'clock and my feathers with the cock bird down.I do know that getting the timing at optimum fall away seems to bevery critical. I took the advice of my local pro shop and tied the cord in a knot instead of cutting it off and melting the end when I thought I had it the way I wanted. In this way I can easily adjusthow much "play" andhow fast my rest will drop. It took a while because a very slight amount of adjusting the cord shorter or longer made a big difference for me.
