I have the rip cord on one of my old Bowtechs. Love it myself. But my QAD Ultra custom on my Experience is on a different level. But as I was telling the op previously, it was a bit of a bear even for me to get perfect. But it has a few adjustment's on it and you have to get them all correct and in a proper order of timing for that 0 fault performance. But once you have that bugger locked in, WOW.
QAD's "Hunter" model is vastly cheaper and would be a fairly good beginner drop away as it is much easier to tune. I think the rip cord is around the same price, maybe 10 bucks more according to where you get it, and is about the same tuning that the QAD "hunter" rest involves. Pretty straight forward and easily done.
