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.

get a wisker biscuit and you will never think twice

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.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

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.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

Does it make the noise when you simply pull on the cable?

Does it make the noise when you draw the bow without an arrow nocked?

If you said yes to either of these then it is inside the rest. A small drop of oil will probably take care of the problem but you could also call NAP and I bet they will send you a new on ASAP.

Are you absolutely 100% sure it is the rest. Could it be the cable slide?

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

OMG it actually does make that squeak when I draw back without a arrow. I guess it never even crossed my mind. I was convinced it was the arrow hitting the forks. It sounds exactly the carbon getting scraped. But it's not, it is the rest.
That's why you guys are here to think of the stuff we SHOULD think of first but fail to.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

Now that we have eleminated that variable.

Pull on the rests steel cable with your fingers to raise the forks but do not draw the bow. Does it still make the noise?

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

Now I oiled up the moving parts on the fork arm and it is still squeaking is there somewhere I should be oiling that I am not? I see no other place where anything rotates or moves besides there?

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

No it does not squeak when doing it woth my fingers. Could it be the clip around the 2 strings? It looks as if some of the wax is scuffed up on the string where that clip is.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

If it does not squeak when pulling it with your hand then it isn't the rest. I bet it is your cable slide. If wax gets between the slide and the rod then the slide will chatter. And when you draw your bow it sounds as if you raked your finger nail along the teeth of a hair comb. Take it off and clean the inside of the cable slide and also clean the cable guard rod itself.

electrical tape or black hockey tape work great

two of my buddies have the 2000 & 4000 and i have shot both of their bows and asked them what the noise is. I wonder if it is just how they are

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

I've been using the 2000 for almost 4 years and I've never had a peep out of it. Wish I could help you out, but just wanted to point out that this doesn't happen with all of them.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

My 4000 is completely silent.but I shoot aluminum and just wipe my arrows down with denatured alcohol. My 4000 is used right out of the box, NO modifications.

RE: Quicktune drop away rests
 

The wax trick, though old school, works. Are you absolutely sure its coming from the forks. You may want to get a very (and i do stress very trusting) buddy to lend an ear, to try and pin point the squeek. Susie chapstik, thats funny,lol.

Sorry, disregard. I just read back through the other replys, good luk.
