My QAD rest keeps ripping off fletching from my arrows, I originally thought it was just a bad glue job on them but a buddy said he had the same rest and it turned out to just be making contact.... so im going today to get them re glued if i can, then looking to get a new rest, hopefully that fixes the problem.
But my question is what rests are you shooting now? Do you like it? Pros and cons... or what is a new good rest. I was thinking about a rip cord and have heard some good things about them. Feedback would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance!

What QAD is it? The hunter model? If so, they have a reputation of bouncing back up and causing contact. I have a Ripcord Code Red and it is a great rest. Drops very quickly.

I believe thats what it is. My friend just got a code red ripcord rest, im gonna see how he likes his before I make my decision. Ive heard bad things about the cheaper QAD so I figured that was the problem.

I got the QAD ultrarest 2 years ago and i love it...but it did take a little doing to get it tuned in. Mine was ripping fletching off too. Make sure that the people at the archery shop put the nocking point high enough...maybe just a touch above square. I had to go to the closest archery shop probably 6 times for a total of probably 8 or 10 hours with a couple of arguments to finally get it tuned in.

But once it got tuned in i love it...full capture with a dropaway is exactly what i wanted and i shoot much more accurately now than i did with my old 2 prong rest.

Also make sure that you put the cock feather straight up (edited...not down). Good luck!

Want to make sure that you put the cock feather up...i was distracted and wrote down on my post before, don't want to screw anybody up.
