RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
ORIGINAL: archer58 Do you have the LockDown model or the standard? Iset minelike Kodiak did on the Blace Ice and Switchback I had. Not real tight on the cable at full draw and cock vane was up, but "slightly inward" bc the standard model had bounce back off the shelf and with blazers that was the best I could get. it was sure a hit and miss on clearence. When I switched to the Lock Down models I had no problem on any bow it was on. |
RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
ORIGINAL: N2D I spent the last two daystrying to get my QAD to shoot well with bare shafts. Tried everything. I took off the upper bar because I was getting contact as well. I finally got it to shoot well afterI kept messing withit.I started off with feathers then went to balzers and it now shoots great especially with broadheads. Getting 100 grain Muzzy's shooting same place as field points. Even getting 125 grain Muzzy's shooting very well. I will add that I do not think I will ever buy another one. More trouble than it is worth for me. Is it shooting well with centershot set properly? If not,ditch it and get another rest.You will never reach your full potential with a rest setup inside or outside of centershot. Think about it,you are having to aim away and across your body to hit center of the target.Look at how many angles that creates,angles are hard to repeat. |
RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
Yes I believe center shot was finally reached. I say this because I shot at 10 yards and sighted in. Then walked back to 30 yards and using the same pin, I shot groups that was right on centered of the 10 yard group except below of course. Then I went to the broadhead test and was suprised they hit the same place. I may be wrong with my thinking though, if I am please correct me on this. I surely want it to be right.

RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
I was so far off center that the rest was almost touching the riser. It was shooting good, but that is not right. I put the WB back on for now... pefect papertune w/ blazers again now right on center... I'm gonna stick with the wb for now... I put my QAD on Ebay.

RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
I believe I am going to waituntil I can get some more input on if I am doing right with this rest and center shot. If I am not, or cannot, achieve true center shot, I will probably take the advise of MeanV and some others and try a Limb Driver. This is the second time I have installed this rest and I have had the same results. It is shooting great groups but if it is not right, I don't want it.

RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
question:
i know a lot of guys worry with the QAD about speed and if there arrow is fast that it will make contact...........but what if you have a very heavy arrow....is it possible that the weight will cause the arrown to "drop" a little causing fletching contact??? |
RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
I wondered the same thing. If the heavier arrow was able to drop, then the point of impact would drop as well. Didn't seem to be the case. A 505 grain arrow had about the same point of impact at 20 yards as a 403 grain arrow. I would have expected the heavier arrow to shoot a little low anyway, due to less speed; but apparently the slightly larger diameter of the heavy arrow set it up a little higher on the rest.
