    I am running the QAD ultra pro on my Anarchy, and absolutely love it, it locks in the up position which definitely helps out. I had a whisker biscuit on my old bow and wouldn't trade my QAD for anything.

    I shoot a 2012 Bear Legion. 70# dw and 28.5 dl. I shoot 29 inch ics bowhunter .340 spine through my setup. I love my setup currently have a hostage pro rest but am thinking of getting a drop away after this season in prep for next year. :)

    Nock em down, Drag em out!!

    Yeah the whisker biscuit is a decent rest for a RTS bow, but the QAD is the real deal. Hoping to lose so of the noise and gain a little speed. I cant hurt, thats for sure

    The qad is the way to go, I wanted something that is full containment and when locked in the up position it is and it works awesome, it is whisper quiet and I have never shot groups this tight with a whisker biscuit, IMHO the fletching contact of the biscuit does affect an arrows flight slightly, but just my 2 cents. I wouldn't trad my qad for anything.

    Thats the way I feel, the fletching contact on the WB has to slow it down, even if just a bit...My WB is just about worn out and if spending the money to replace it why not upgrade? Seriously thinking about the HDX but might just get the next model under it.

    I am running the qad ultra pro hd in matching camo to my bow, I had a biscuit on my martin saber but wanted to upgrade my bow, and figured if I spend the kind of money on my set up that I did I would put accessories on it that were what I wanted that were good quality, I had nothing against the biscuit except that when it gets wore out the arrows started fishtailing when the biscuit would collapse, And the fletching contact on it, IMHO that will and does affect arrow flight.

    Only had to make a minor adjustment side to side with my sight and im shootin 2" groups at 30 yards. Real happy! These arrows shoot so much better than my Quest Quick Strikes! Couldn't be happier. The ICS Hunters fly so flat and I think they are quite a bit faster. Thanks for everyone input that influenced this purchase, these things are saaaaweet!

    I was shooting beeman carbon speeds, they were fast but they fly kinda funny, besides the fact that they were weak as hell, one shot in the dirt and they would break, I am a lot happier with the ICS hunters, damn fine arrie in my opinion. Glad to hear your dialed in, got mine dialed in last night, come on monday already. Good Luck out there.
