RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
The drop is a little more at 30 yards with the heavy arrow; and it goes down hill from there. At 70 yards, the heavy arrow impacts a couple of feet lower. I would speculate there is a good chance you can squeeze in another 10 yardsby going to that much lighter of an arrow. With 400 grain arrows, there is 22" difference in actual drop going from 60 yards to 70 yards out my bow. The gap between 70 and 80 is probably aroun 30". I'll bet your bow will have right around 30" less drop at 70 yards than it has with the heavy arrows.

RE: Problems Tuning QAD Rest
I HAVE A QAD HD ON MY BOW. I'M GETTING 284FPS OUT OF IT. NO PROBLEMS YET. I TUNED IT VERY EASY. MY BUDDY HAS ONE ON HIS XF 6 AND GETTING 325FPS AND NO PROBLEMS YET. TUNED EASY ALSO. NOW MY NEW BOW IS HERE (GTO)AND I HAVE PUT A QAD HD ON IT, HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO TUNE IT YET. BUT I REPORT HOW IT DOES AFTER THE WEEKEND. BY-THE-WAY THE FIRST TWO PAPER TUNED VERY EASY. ONE THING I NOTICED AT MY PROSHOP IS THAT GUYS WERE SHOOTING UNDER SPINED ARROWS CAUSING MOST OF THERE PAPER TUNING PROBLEMS, ONCE WE GOT THEM TO TRY A STIFFER ARROW...MOST PROBLEMS WERE SOLVED. I PERSONALLY LOVE THE QAD HD. NO EXPERIENCE WITH THE CHEAP MODEL, BUT I HAVE HEARD THAT IT DOES HAVE BOUNCE BACK ISSUES LIKE A FEW OTHER DROP AWAY RESTS THAT DON'T LOCK DOWN.
