    Ok guys I got a the mathews chiller a few weeks ago and love the bow. It shoots like a dream but when I started shooting my broad heads they are shooting about 4 in low every time the left and right are fine. I have shot two different broad heads through it is better but still low. I paper tuned it with my field points and it tuned out fine. I shoot the cabelas stalker extreme arrows through it cause right now I do a lot of hog hunting with it

    my set up
    QAD rest
    70 pounds
    29 in Cabela stalker extreme 65/80
    125 grain G5 Striker broad head

    is my spine messed up or what just asking a little help
    Thanks gues

    Scott

    Going to go out on a limb here and ask if your field points are the same weight as your choice of broad head?

    I personally like Slick Tricks and they are Money at 75 yards.

    You most likely just need to raise the rest slightly.

    I have raised the rest and it is still the same result. I guess I will move it some more and see if it gets any better

    Ensure timing is correct and tiller is correct. If so, your rest is too low.

    I had the same issue. Someone (gjacher on the Mathews forum) suggested I set my rest to fall a little later. Instead of the first inch I changed it to drop about 3" from full draw. Problem solved. I have no fletching contact (but I do not use a QAD). The only thing I can figure is that the BH was dropping before the arrow launches and made my arrow point down at release. It is a easy fix and you can always go back. It may be worth a try.

    This is an issue with drop aways that fall too early. The QAD falls pretty late and I have yet to see that be an issue with that rest.

    Either the drop away timing is screwed up, it's just too low, or you consistently drop your bow and aren't following through.

    I agree but only if it is set up to fall late. If it is set to drop the first 1/2-1" it does matter who made the rest.

    A QAD by design will not fall too early (atleast I've never seen it) but they may fall too late and create contact issues.

    The only way I can see a QAD falling too early is if it isn't coming up all the way to begin with. They're designed to be setup to come up in the last 1" to 2" of the draw cycle anyway and I've set them up as little as the last 1/2" with no issues falling too early.
