Quicktune drop away rests
 

I have a Nap quicktune drop away rest. I am getting a new noise when I draw back. I get a squeak from my carbon arrow whenI draw back from where the arrow rests on the forks. I can't figure out why it's doing it. Any idea's? The protectivetubing isnot worn throughon it,Shall I just go to a whisker biscuit and be done with it?

It's probably not the arrow but a dirty rest. Check to see that the rests horrizontal shaft and inside the brass bushing is clean. You could have a small ommount of stuff in there that is causing the squeak when the shaft rotates inside the bushing.

I had the same problem. I fixed it with some fleece on the forks.

:DI used to use this rest and would still be using it if it would fit the new Bowtechs.I highly recomend the rest when asked about it. I did'nt have that noise, but I did swap the standard black fork tamers out for a set of pure teflon white ones. You may want to try that first.

Don't go to a wisker biscuit. Isn't total fletch clearence our goal?

Muzzyman where did you get them your pro shop?

Try waxing your arrows. Use regular car wax. The smell will go away very quickly--day or two. Worked great for me.

Car wax no kidding? I picked up new teflon forktamers today. I will try them first.

I shoot the Hoyt version of that rest and have had the same problem. I usually just use a thin coat of Chapstick on the forks and the sound goes away. It is usually related to a wet or dirty shaft.

Good luck.

I have to say I am disappointed. With this drop away rest even with new fork tamers and clean arrow shafts I am still getting that hunt ending squeak when I draw back. I have a hard time accepting we have to wax our arrows or use chapstick. Just one more thing in the back of your mind especially if you forget suzie chapstick at home.

I have no clue why it still does that.
