If you got the instructions with your QT 1000 it tells you how to fix the problem.

I used to shoot with the 1000 until I upgraded to the QT 4000.

The white marks on the fork shows where your vanes are hitting the rest. This tells you which direction you need to move your rest. Move in the direction of the fork with the white mark. Then spray with foot powder and shoot again. Be very careful when you move the rest though . . . it does not take much movement at all to make the necessary changes.

If my memory serves me correctly, these instructions are also on theit website.
[I just checked their website and they have the instructions for the QT 1000. The following URL contains the instructions mentioned above; sorry it took so long. http://www.newarchery.com/faq/faq.asp?fID=9]

You may also need to adjust the width of your forks this is mentioned in the Easton Arrow Tuning and Maintenance Guide [2nd Edition] page 6.


I did find this in their FAQ' s:

Q:How do I make my QuikTune arrow rest easier to tune?
A:If you shoot a QuikTune 1000, 1000 Pro Series, 2000 or 3000, and are having trouble getting a good paper tune, try this to make the rest more forgiving.
Reduce your prong gap (on 1000 or 3000 models ) to the minimum that allows good fletch clearance.
Nock your arrow on the string and set the arrow on the rest.
Reduce the spring tension so that it barely holds the arrow up when setting on the rest.
These simple steps will properly match the spring tension and prong gap to the specific arrow you shoot. As a result it will be much easier to get a good paper tear when you are paper tuning.
