Default Ripcord vs. QAD What's your take?

I currently shoot with a WB with good accuracy, but everyone is telling me to go to a fall away. I hear that Ripcord and QAD are some of the best. What's your pick and why?

Use whatever works for you. If a WB is working, don't change, unless you are convinced you can do better. I use a QAD LD and love it, and use a NAP QT 2000 on my other bow, and I am a firm believer in drop aways. Less contact issues if the rest is timed correctly.

I switched from a prong type fixed rest several years ago.

My only experience with drop away rests is the QAD.I put one on my General and so far it's working great.

I have had both, and I won't go back to the ripcord again. That whole deal where it will fall down when you let down cost me a deer last year. A fine deer. I have owned 3 QAD's and would own another.
