I still think the LD model will take care of some people's clearance problems but not all. For those of us that tinker with our bows, we have to take a few things into consideration. I truely do think most people who are having problems with this rest are having them because the tension on the launcher arm cable isn't correct. Yes operator error.It is very important not to over look this detail.There is no one correct tension for all bows, we have to find the tension that works for are DL and arrow speeds, etc.

For example,when I first got this QAD rest Ihad it rigged correctly where the launcher arm goes from 80 degrees to 90 degrees on the last inch of my drawlength, but not enough cable tension at the 90 degree position. I was getting fletching contact, so I had QAD modify it by advancing the spring tension. When I got it back it worked great for awhile until I fooled around with some very minor draw stop peg adjustments. Then I was actually onlygetting launcher arm to88-89 degrees and I didn't know it. I was getting flething contactlike every 5th shot. Once I realized this I slightly shortened the launcher arm cable, thus makingcable tighter at full draw and BAM...everything was working great. Best way to know for sure is take bow to full draw and have somebody push launcher arm toward you the shooter and see if it moves at all.

Looking back I don't think I even needed the advancement on spring tension, maybe just needed to find what cable tension worked best with my set-up. Once again, I do believe that most of the clearance problems are from those of us who like to tinker with our bows and we forget that any little change in our draw length/draw stop peg effects the tension on launcher arm cable and timing of drop. I first thought that just getting 90 degrees from launcher arm at last 1 inch of draw length was enough. I believe you have to take it to the next level to get this baby perfect on every shot. What I mean by taking it to the next level isonce getting 90 degrees on launcher arm, you then have to play with cable tension. Too little cable tension at 90 degrees is just as bad as too much tension at 90 degrees, you can call this preload if that helps to visualize what I'm saying better.

Also setting up this rest on a new bow may work great for awhile, but when the string or cables stretch it will change the rigging on this rest. Make sure you double check the rest rigging after your first 150-200 shots depending on quality of string. The rest should be the very last thing we adjust after all other bow adjustments are made. For some people this may all be too complicated and too much work.However, for those who hunt in an enviornment that takes full advantage of all this rest has to offer, it is worth the time to get it set up correctly. This is my experience with the QAD rest.
