After that threadI moved mine forward from the advice of HuntingEd and the minor contact went away.

Did you ever do anything else with yours?

RE: fletching drag on QAD rest
 

The instructions clearly state that if the arm is not dropping fast enough, then you need to lengthen the cord. Doing this makes the arm react sooner so it can get out of the way of the fletchings.

"Lower clamp locations allow Ultra Rest to fall faster". It doesn'tsay lengthening the cord will allow it to fall faster.

The lower the cord the more the cord is pulling down on the spring mechanism instead of straight back on it.

When I talk about lengthing the cord I mean when you leave it clamped in the same location and then put more slack in the cord.

I had a QAD ultra rest pro ld on my Ross cardiac and was having troubles with fletching contact also. I also have one on my CR331 but no problems with contact on it, but it is shooting about 15 to 20fps slower. The problem with the one on my cardiac was when the flipper hit the shelf it would pop up just a tad and the LD feature locked it right there so my fletch wood just clip it. I put the rest on my wife's bow and it works great cause I have it set back so the flipper doesnt even hit the shelf.

Sorry, but that it what I meant.

Dave, I have since checked mine with using some of the GF red lipstick on the vanes. No contact. I could actually move it forward another 1/4 in. but I am thinking of just leaving it alone.

I have a LD on my TomKat. When the shop installed it, they put it where the fork isn't quite at a 90 when the rest is cocked. As far as I know i am not having any issues with contact. I also shoot blazers and am shooting b/t 285+. I haven't choroned it since I upped the poundage and took the peep off the string, and added the rest (was shooting a WB).

How can I test to see if I am having contact issues? My shots are dead on at well over 40yds.

HOW DID YOU TIE THE CORD TO THE BUS CABLE TO KEEP IT DOWN AS THE DIRECTIONS SAY? I TRIED TO TIE MINE DOWN BUT IT SLIPS UP. I'M SHOOTING A BOWTECH ALLEG.

RE: fletching drag on QAD rest
 

Ihave mine set up on the same bow.

The directions have you clamp it down with the little clamp that comes with the rest. You put the clamp on and then draw and thecord/clamp is supposed to slide up to the point that you should tighten the clamp down at.

Istuck the cord through the down cable. Then I served above the point where I wanted the cord to stay and then melted the end of the cord like you do with a D-loop and then served below the cord. The cord will only go as far as the melted end.

If you wantI can send you pictures of it tonight? I think i posted them on another thread here not to long ago.
