Default QAD VS. RIPCORD???

Ok guys, I am looking at these two rest and am having a little bit of a tough decision. I recently asked my bow shop owner bout the QAD and he said they were junk and to go with the RIPCORD. I trust him but when i get 20 other people one here that say its great i starting to beleive you guys a but more. The ripcord also looks like a dandy but i havent really talked to anyone who shoots one. My pro shop owner said that these were great rest so idk.

Any help would be great!

Go with the QAD, ripcord is JUNK!! J/K

The advantage of the QAD is the ability to let down and still have the rest stay up.

Is it safe to assume that he dosnt sell the QAD and he sells the Ripcord.Saying that one of the most popular full containment rests(QAD) is junk is just a lie--lol--
I havent tried the Ripcord myself so I can not comment on the rest(durability,performance,value,etc) but I have used the QAD and nothing bad to say about it at all.It has everything I am looking for in a Drop rest.
Have fun with your decision,one probably isnt better then the other anyways.It all depends on the persons needs in a rest,and value is a big deciding factor as well.
PS---Popularity of a product in certain areasis also the deciding factor

Thats what I thought.It truely amazes me how many guys can own a shop and tear one product apart that they dont even carry.He could very easily order one for you but that would be to much trouble I guess.He wants his money now and to make a quick sale.Shops like this only think of themselves and not the customer entering the door.Its the customer that keeps his business thriving and without us he will be out of business in no time.
Check them both out--either way,you will not be dissapointed.
PS--No experience with the Muzzy,but enough members here can attest to it----Good luck on your decision and have fun,thats what its all about.
