I just got my new bow yesterday, and it has been shooting just fine until 8 shots ago. All of the sudden my right vanes have started hitting the rest making a noise and pulling up the felt. I moved the rest a little left, and now both vanes are hitting it. What should I do? Move my nocking point up ? Any good advice would be well taken.
Who installed the rest? It is imperitive that you become familiar with your bow and everything installed on your bow. If you aren't comfortable doing the work yourself I recommend visiting the nearest proshop. Best wishes.
I have the same rest on my Mission Endeavor, I have to make sure that my cock vane is straight up when I shoot it or it hits the rest. Once I learned that I haven't had any issues.
Hunter's Friend set up everything. I shoot with the cock vane up. It did fine for 80 shots then I heard the noise and inspected the vanes and rest. I found the right vane had a mark, and the felt pulled up.
Is the rest coming to the full 90 degree Mark at full draw? Its also recommended that the rest is activated in the last inch of the draw cycle. There are marks on the rest that should indicate to a point if the rest is fully up at full draw. If the cord is attached to the cable with the provided clamp it may have slipped up the cable. Just a few things to check.
The rest is coming to a 90 degrees at full draw and I have double checked the lines on it also. And the cord is served into the cable so it can't slip.
Is the rest coming to the 90 degree Mark at the last inch of the draw cycle? Quad should have had a DVD with the rest for install and troubleshooting, check that out. I also hear they have great customer service to help you out with set up.
yeah , watch the cams as your drawing , make sure when you get to the last 1'' of draw / cam rotation that is when the louncher is needed to come up , i've had mine on my Destroyer and Invasion set at 1/2'' before because of the bow speeds , the longer it takes for the launcher to come up but fully up at full draw the faster it will drop , some people thing the sooner it comes up the faster it will drop , that isnt so and that is when vane contact comes into play ..........another thought is mabe your cables are stretching and now your launcher isnt coming up all he way .
I am not sure why the directions always say shoot cock feather up. This is really the opposite of what works best. I have set up several of these up for people and they shoot just fine shooting cock feather down and should eliminate contact. If you think about it, the first part of the rest to get out of the way of the fletching will be the bottom of the "V". I never shoot Cock feather up. Try it and let me know.
There are two lounchers for that rest the standard one that comes with it that can indeed be used to shoot cock vane up , and the TL-1 which has a deeper throught for more clearence and works good cock vane down . I have also set up those rests for years in my shop and being a dealer for them , i have had zero issues shooting cock vane up , if the lounchers and rest is set up correct there will be absolutely no contact what so ever .
Where on your cable is the draw cord set. I had this problem and had to move where it tied in so it was close to the bottom of my grip. If it is tied in and you can't retie, try loosenig the set screw and shorten the cord a little.
Im guessing the problem is, you have the hunter not the HD or HDX QAD. The Hunter does not have the lock down feature you could be shooting and the rest could be hitting the riser self and bouncing back up and hitting your arrow. Try to see if that is the problem. Do you know if anyone has one you could borrow or use?
Being a new bow. it sounds like your string and cable have stretched a bit and threw the timing off. Also as stated above, I would try the TL-1 launcher that comes with it.
Same problem with an hd I have the same problem and had an Hd.. Used both launchers.. Done many adjustments on string attachments. Setup what have ya.. Fletchin up or down it hits. I have another reply On here with full detail. Other friend have same problem.. We all have crx 32s.. One friend has the hot version or the QAD ultra rest and doesn't hit. My arrows group 95% of the time .. Only they have a circular motion at knock end on flight..
New guy here, first post, but not new to the game. I set up 50+ QAD Hunter rests a year. 1. Make sure, as stated, the rest comes up in the last 1" of draw. I like to set them to come up as the bow falls in the valley. 2. Some bows (trial and error) like the rest installed all the way forward and some like them set back. 3. The football should be installed on the cable about even with the bottom of the grip. 4. When the launcher is pulled up, it should be vertical at most, not past vertical(towards the shooter), even the slightest. 5. DO NOT CREEP forward during the shot. Creeping will let the launcher go back to the cocked position and will not drop. This is what happens when the "snapping" sound is heard during the shot.
