    While I was at the GTG, Hank noticed one of my arrows was starting to bulge right around the insert. So taking his advice I quit shooting that arrow. This week at the range I found another arrow that is starting to bulge. I think my Beman ICS hunters have hit their life expectancy.

    I also noticed my QAD drop away is making a pretty loud clicking noise as it rocks back during my draw. If I rock it back manually with my hand I can feel it catching somewhere in that last little bit between its "stand by" position and its full draw position. I got this rest last year and it seems too soon to be having problems with it. Anyone ever seen this?

    That sucks! I have been using a good, but used QAD drop away for several years and it hasn't had any issues. I would contact QAD and see if they can replace it/fix it. Good luck.

    Yeah, it still shoots but it's loud and breaks your concentration

    So I have been thinking of switching to the NAP apache, should I just cut my losses and get the NAP or take this in to get refurbished?

    I may do both and have a backup rest
