Been a wierd week
#1
Been an odd week for me:
My wifes car was hit two days ago and then today someone hit my truck and caved in the bed.. Took off, no note or nothing.. Total bummer.. Then tonight I feel the trans slip, it a newer truck but I know that's an expensive fix.. No time to do anything between school, work, and family. No money to do anything anyway.
Lost a good bowhunting spot when the landowner died and left all the land to the A-Hole that was renting a house on the property, he gave me the boot.
Gunsmith calls and lets me know that the latest rifle I bought needs to go back to the factory, the last two guns I've bought have had factory defects, one was sent back five months ago and just came back two days ago and had another bad stock on it.
Ok but some good also, wife got a raise.. Although not much everything helps... Probably just enough to make up for some gas money.. arrgghh
And here's something odd, good and well... not really bad but just odd...
I finally replaced my whisker bisquit with a QAD Ultra Rest LD.. I love the new rest and it shoots really well.. Odd part is it's actually shooting a couple fps slower than the bisquit.. I'm not bothered by this, just a little backwards from what I would have thought.
Now if I can just find time to practice more and actually find time to hunt come October..
OK, and I know I'm not the only one with issues and trust me I've just scratched the surface on my busy life but hey... Writing this all out might just help me feel better about my day.. And I know things can get a bunch worse and I better be quiet before they do.. lol
But thanks for reading.. No need to respond.. Unless of course you have an opinion on the WB shooting faster.. Has anyone else ever seen something like this?

I might take your advice..
OK, I'm not joking here but I think I should have shut up... I just got a call and my mom is in the hospital. they think she had a heart attack but won't know until later tomorrow..
Did I mention that I just had back to back surgeries.. A cardiac cath and had my tonsils out.. Plus I have to get a root canal before hunting season shows up..
Forgot also that a couple days ago I was jumped at a gas station by some drunk guy and needless to say I have a sore wrist on my shooting hand..
Wish I was joking about all this but I'm not.. Also not looking for any pitty.. I'm just venting a little, when I read all this I feel that all I can do is laugh..
I'm going to go buy the new country cd (if your going through hell).. forgot who sings that song but I think I might go pick it up..
And people ask why I've lost my hair so early.. [&:]

It's a new day, I'm on my way out to check on a couple stands this morning and take my truck up to the shop to get an estimate.
Anyway, ghemry where do you live?

Yes it has, it is a small world I live down the street from him.
It could have been the Chrono, I have the same rest works great and is quite.

I know it seems hard to do demoIL--but try looking at the 'brighter side' of life. Easier said than done, I know, but hang in there bro!!!
I assume you're using the same set-up with the QAD as you did with the WB? Arrows, bow poundage, etc. Seems odd you sould lose speed switching to a drop away. Have you paper tested to see what the arrows are doing now. Some drop aways work better when adjusted higher (comparing this to the button holes on the riser--the rest holes)--maybe you'll want to fiddle with that a little and see what happens.

No, my name is actually Chris and I live on Moore St. In Waterloo.. But it's good meetin ya.. 
yes, same everything except the rest.. I had it high but when I shot paper it was tearing up.. I moved it down and it's shooing bullet holes now through paper. Could be my eyes but the arrow even looks as if it's pointed just a hair downward when on the rest.. But it's shooting great. Paper looks good and groups look good..
