    drop away rest just blew up

    Team QAD drop away rest...apparently it didn't or doesn't drop away fast enough and my fletches caused it to shatter? Anyone ever see this?

    I am just as accurate with my whisker biscuit... A lot less timing issues to worry about as well. But I know many have their doubts about them, I myself love using it.

    could just be a fluke...I am shooting the RPM 360...it didn't drop away a few times on shots, could be from that...

    I've used a qad for years, I only had one issue when I didn't have the timing right on the drop away cord.
    I hope you get it fixed under Warrenty

    Wait your fletchings shattered or the rest itself shattered?

    I've herd of people having the forks on the qad come down so fast that they bounce back up and contact the fletchings.

    Re: drop away rest just blew up

    Lots of things can go wrong on a drop away. You are relying on a solid connection between the cord and down cable, possible cord or cable stretch, wax slippage on the connections, mechanical portions on the rest loosening from vibration. Any of these and more can put you out of 'time' and that's what a drop away is all about.
    All are a bad result.
