RE: QAD HD Rest setup
thanx dave i didnt get to finish tuning...i havent shot in probably 4 months...(been at Cape Cod working all summer and silly me didnt realize id have a yard to shoot my bow in so i left it home!) but i fatigued quick...shots started getting sloppy...i know thats no time to tune a bow lol...
funny you mention bumping arrows etc....THAT is why i bought the QAD. i hunt from a summit viper 90% of the time...seen no reason NOT to keep the bow with arrow nocked laying across the front of the stand ready to go...opening morning here he comes...nice 2.5yo buck...would been a heck of a nice first bow kill....stood...he stopped 12-15yds very slightly quartering away...crease behind the shoulder was glowing from the way he was standing...drew...UhT OH!! i never put my arrow on the prongs of the nap1000..arrow was laying between the prong and riser...broadhead caught the riser, arrow popped off the string...so there i am...full draw with a arrow balanced on my finger that i managed to catch...couldnt nock it again though...he definently heard it...got it down without spooking him and was offered beautiful 20-22yd broadside shots...but he knew something was up and was alert and i was in a different tree due to wind that morning and it looked farther than it was..if i shot i woulda put the 30 on the heart...glad i didnt. but THAT is why i bought the rest...(and i found it onsale at cabelas for...90 or 100$!!)
