QAD ultra rest hunter
 
Does anybody use this rest? What do you like about it and do you dislike anything about it. I am wanting to get a drop away for the new bow i'm getting this summer and this looks pretty good for the price. Thanks for any input.

I got one last month. Like it so well I'm getting another one for my backup bow. I had my 05 Protec tuned perfectly with the Whisker Biscuit. Took measurements on how far away the center of the arrow was from both the bottom and side of the shelf.

After installing the QAD Ultra, I adjusted the new rest to these same measurements. The bow was hitting only 1/2" low at 20 yards and still perfectly tuned!

I got one a week ago I am thrilled with it I don t see how it could be any better. I tried 7 or 8 before this one and found fault with everyone.That company picked the right name.I don t see how you could be unhappy with this one.Theres alot of junk out there this is not that.I did the lipstick test found no vane contact no matter which way i turned the vanes at about 280 fps

Thanks for the feedback. I've heard nothing but good things about this rest so i think i will give it a try.

I have been shooting one now for about 6 months or so. I think it is a great rest. The only problem I had was fletching contact whenI was using 4"vanesbut I switched to blazers and it took care of that problem.

I have been looking into that rest as well.
Looks very good and I love the full containment component. The best of both worlds.

I have been using one for a few months now and absolutely love it!! I was using a Whisker Biscuit previously, and really liked that. But after shooting the QAD, my groups were a lot better and no more fletching damage. Well, almost no fletching damage. Now my groups are so tight that I'm stacking arrows on top of eachother. I shoot with 4" vanes with no problem. I was considering trying Blazer vanes, but have heard of a lot of contact issues with the topcontainment arm. Does anyone have this problem with the Blazers?

me and my hunting buddy shot the hd version all 2007 season. we love it. no contact problems. easy to tune. well made. no cheap plastice. they even give you an extra luncher. but my advice is to shop around. they retail $135 range, but we both got ours at a local pro shop for about $115. best rest i've ever used.

I thought that too when I put it on my Vulcan. Apparently the rest bounces a bit when it falls down so they developed the LD series to accomodate the problem. I am guessing it happens with faster bows and or ones with low brace heights.

You loosen the little set screw that applies tension to it and slide it out to the right.

I have this rest and it works great. I also shoot FOBs. If a dropaway rest will work with FOBs it will work with anything.

It's the best rest I've owned. The Hunter model works great. Shop around - you can get them really cheap.
