I spent the last two daystrying to get my QAD to shoot well with bare shafts. Tried everything. I took off the upper bar because I was getting contact as well. I finally got it to shoot well afterI kept messing withit.I started off with feathers then went to balzers and it now shoots great especially with broadheads. Getting 100 grain Muzzy's shooting same place as field points. Even getting 125 grain Muzzy's shooting very well. I will add that I do not think I will ever buy another one. More trouble than it is worth for me.
