That was the reason, I have a Tribute which is short ATA already. I was looking for something a bit longer, at 34 7/8 ATA, I think the GT500 offered a bit better stability, although the Z is an awesome bow in its own right.

I think I am going to switch the rest out to either a limbdriver or a G5 Expert II. the other issue with the GT500 is cable clearance issues with blazers, I am barely squeekin by ( odd vane up), to close for comfort. The QAD does not allow to much in the way of offsetting the nock very much to combat this, seems no matter how I turn it, I am getting contact somewhere (desenex foot spray) on the fletchings is revealing this. Problem is, I have to worry about the cables and the rest. Easily remedied with one of the other rests. I have have both arms for the rest and the TL1 seemed to be the better option.
