Hey Dan, do you sell that launcher that is on your bow? Or what ever that shelf rest is? It looks like what i used to have with my trophy ridge dropzone.

The way mine is setup you have to turn the bow upside down to dump the arrow. The QAD is a nice dropaway but the Limb Driver setup is day in day out more consistent. No Question about it!:D

Please explain this one to me. And I'm still confused about how the limbdriver got into this thread.

The QAD....I lock it into the upright position when I get on stand. My arrow is fully contained. Other than the Ripcord (which is very similar) OR the WB (which I went away from due to noise issues with the arrow I was using).....I don't think it has a competitor.

It (QAD) may not have a corporate partnership with a major bow company like some of the others, but it's performed flawlessly for too many people (and again....I've owned both, very recently) to get statements like the above stated about it.;)

I'm a little curious about that comment too, on holding the bow upside down for arrow to fall out on the Limb Driver. Its not a containment drop away from pics I've seen. Nor does it keep the arrow off the shelf until you draw.
I've had the QAD for 2 full seasons. I haven't had to touch it 1x from initial setup. The rest is flawless. It totally contains the arrow, it can't fall off the rest. Once put in ready position the arrow remains off the shelf, and less movement of the arrow compared to alot of the drop aways. I don't know much about the Limb Driver. But the QAD does it all. How can you ask for anything better than that!!

I have NEVER touched by QAD ultra drop away after the initial set up. Not once.

Make sure you torque everything down correctly and you're good forever !!
Same here. Works like a champ. Get your initial set-up right, and you should be good to go.

do any of you have a slight clicking noise when you draw back coming from the rest??? I think mine has a clicking noise on the initial first draw and then I don't notice it, I assume it's coming from the QAD rest locking into place, even though I always shoot with it holding the arrow up anyway.

No, I have 2 QAD rests, the LD and the HD and neither of them make any clicking noise.

I agree with the others on the QAD. I have set it up and tuned it, which took all of about 5 minutes, and I've checked it since and haven't had to touch it. It's kind of annoying because I like to tinker and since I don't have to touch it I have to find something else on my bow to mess with.;)


I'm not even sure why it's in this conversation given the thread title.
I agree Jeff. That rest may be able to spit out gold bouillon (sp?) but it doesn't belong in this thread.

Va, you should have no clicking sound with this the QAD. I also can help you get rid of those brown marks on your fletching you were talking about. I know the fix. PM me

I am still confused, not familiar with limb driver. drop away?
Go to Vapor Trails website. http://www.vaportrailarchery.com/limbDriver.asp

I sell them all but my choice is the Limb Driver. Hands Down!!

Sure looks like that arrow (at rest) will fall off with no problem whatsoever and what's with all that stuff on the shelf, riser and forks???;);)

I don't own a QAD but my buddy does and for the last two years since he's had it he hasn't had to mess with it at all. It seems like a pretty good rest and I wouldn't mind puttingone on my backup bow to give it a whirl. I won't give up my W/B for my hunting bow, but I like what I've seen from the QAD so far.

Big John, You best stick with the WB![8D]

As far as me mentioning the Limb Driver please accept my humble apology. I was trying to recommend the best drop away out there, which the Limb Driver is IMHO that based on experience gained from setting up 100's of drop aways of severaldifferent types, but if you like full containment then the QAD is one option;)
