ORIGINAL: Black Stick

If you still have time to return it to the store, do it now because it will not drop fast enough for that speed demon. I tried one on mine and I have nearly the same specs as you. By the way, the 82nd is great. You should look at getting a Vapor Trail Limb Driver or an APA Ultimate Twister Safari. I think that the limb driver is a better rest, but I figured that if you liked the QAD, it is because it is a full capture drop away, which the APA is also. I have used them both on my 82nd and they work great. Much better than the QAD.

There isn't a drop away rest made that will not drop quick enough for any bow on the market. The faster your bow shoots... the faster the rest will drop. If you rest isn't getting out of the way... then you are probably not setting it up correctly.

As to how to attach the cord to the cable... don't use that POS clamp... and don't run the cord through your cable either. I tie the same knot you tie for a D loop... and serve above and below the cord where it is tied in... that way you aren't compromising your cable... and you don't have to mess with that stupid clamp and those eye glass screws that will vibrate loose overtime and fall out and leave you screwed (or lack there of).

The boss is gone for the weekend... tomorrow I am going to bring my camera to work and I'll make a thread about how to properly set up and time a drop away rest. Who knows... maybe the UPS dude will have a bunch of new Hoyts for me to demo on tmw... been about a week... should be here any day.
