    If you're buying a QAD make sure it is the LD (lockdown) or the HD (harmonic dampener) version so that the prongs can't bounce back up during the shot.

    Is there a dropaway rest that keeps the arrow tight like the whisker bicuit?

    Ok, have you had any issues with the prongs bouncing up like KodiakArcher mentioned in his post?

    I just heard about this problem with alot of drop away rests. The guy that told me this, said that the only one he found that would not do it was the limb driver.

    Where is this kodiakarcher post at? I didn't see it.:confused:

    If you look at my earlier post, the kazaway has 2 pinchers that hold your arrow, and don't open till u draw back. If you let down, the grab the arrow again.
