Some of you might remember me purchasing a QAD LD last week. I have been shooting it for 4 days solid now. Well, my nightmare was realized. Tonight, after shooting, I was looking the rest over and noticed there was a very small crack developing where the screws hold the launcher on the arm. I didn't put the second launcher on, but opted to try what was on the rest when purchased. I know this crack wasn't there before. I'm not sure what to make of it. However, I immediatly decided its coming off.

To be honest, I was a little worried about this and a number of other area's of the rest. I can't believe this rest retails for over 100.00 and have quite a few plastic parts on it. Even the containment bar is made of plastic. I was a little disapointed in that when I mounted it, however, like many things, its usually my imagination.

So, I put good old reliable back on, the APA Twister Safari. I mounted it, took it to the garage, shot two shots through paper and was getting perfect bullet holes. Checked fletch contact...none.

I can not for the life of me see how the APA's aren't more popular. Its the ultimate hunting rest IMO.

I guess I'll have to wait and see what comes out at the ATA now.
