Default RE: QAD ultrarest problem

ORIGINAL: gibblet

your description of the fletchings driving the arm down is how he described the issue. i'll point him to this thread. i've been trying to get him to join over here anyway and this might do it. he's an obsessive and compulsive paper tuner, and could talk for days about each paper tear. lets see if he bites on that one.
Gibblet,

That is exactly what mine was doing. To make matters worse it was an intermittent problem and only happed every 5th shot and would cause flyers. I found that Ididn't have enough tension on launcher arm cable and since I was right on the edge to having enough tensionthe problem was intermittent. All I did was lower launcher arm cable on my bows down buss cable 1/32 of an inch to add a little more tensionand the problem was fixed. He also needs to keep in mind that he can get the same results if he has too much tension and at full draw he is pulling bow down buss cable toward riser...that is not good. I think everybody can get this rest to work, it just takes time.

If he wants to get real picky he can spray his arrow shaft and shot arrows into harder than normal target and see where the launcher arm stopssupporting the arrow shaft. I was told 8-10 inches is perfect for best accuracy. You want the arrow supported while the center of gravity is still forward or balanced. If you tune any rest to where your not getting fletching contact, but you are supporting arrow shaft right up1-2 inches before fletching that will negativly effect accuracy. Just what I have been toldby Rick McKinney from Carbon Tech.

Someday we need to make a long post that has all these rigging tips on it so it would be a one stop wonder for all of us. I have notes scattered everywhere.
