drop away rest just blew up

[Darksith]

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?

[sako79]

I have the qad HDX on my boat I also had it on my Omen Pro and it dropped fast enough

[Darksith]

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 have a spare arrow holder if thats all you need. If not email them there warranty is excellent..

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?

The Rest

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.

how do you tweak the timing? Brand new to me bow, its been 25 years since I was shooting, the technology has advanced a wee bit lol...

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

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.

[StoneChaser]

All models of the QAD drop away plenty fast (even for the RPM 360), and like all drop away rests, they must be timed correctly.

Should the rest fall late, the arrow will slam into the flipper (This is due to the timing cord being too long and is a simple fix).

What model is it (post a picture if you can).

[stro52]

Didn't know these things could blow up lol. I myself followed the instructional video I found on QAD's website, have had no issue's since. Hope the warranty covers you

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.

Midland knows his stuff. He has video of whisker biscuit rests breaking 100 yard stationary clay pigeons...Yes 100 yds.
After using many types for target and hunting, all of my bows are now equipped with them.

[The Hermit]

Whisker Biscuit all day long!

thanks for the kind words Rick! Since I use my target 3D bow for hunting as well it stays in all the time... Hell Hole this weekend in Duncan, should be a good shoot!
