Not to hijack this thread.

I'm pretty confident in my QAD. Set it up properly and you won't have a problem.

The problem I had at first and it sounds like others are having is actually following the guide for tuning. For the Allegiance QAd recommends using the long fork to get the rest to drop faster. However, that will cause contact wit hthe bar. So, I went to the short one and eliminated that. Then I had contact with the hen vanes and the issue was resolved by moving the rest forward to allow it to drop sooner.

Some people try to shoot cock feather down even though QAD clearly recommends to have it up and then say about contact.

A lot of people wantthe shortest arrow possible. However, if you have the rest too far back you will get contact issues.

If the cord isn't pulling down on the spring properly you will have contact issues. All of these probles are easy to fix if you are patient and make very small adjustments.

Also, I prefer having the rest stay up when I have a pointy and sharp broadhead on the end of my arrow.

With that said. the ripcord looks like a great rest.

Everybody should use the rest that works for them and not worry about trying something else out. If it aint broke don't fix it.
