Default RE: how to tie in the cord of a QAD rest

Well, where you had the football (cable holder), I start by tieing in a knot above it and then press your bow. That knot is temporary. Remove the football, and stick the excess cable between the two bundles of the downward cable. Unpress your bow, then serve using serving of course overtop the excess cable just as you would serve a string.Serve about 1". That cable ain't goin no where. You can remove the temporary knot you had.

If you tie over it, it can slide unless you do a series of overhand knots down the string that run down the cable 1/2". If you do try to tie in like this, I use D97 fastflight material, you can use a piece of an old string.

A local pro-shop in the baltimore area tryes to tie them in with a small knot, and I told my buddy, it can move, and he didn't believe me, so when the bow was at rest, I could take my finger and move the knot. Reason it didn't move before at full draw is the cable puts tension on the knot. But the crap this pro-shop pulls, doesn't surprise me.
