    I have always liked the QAD rests but then again I don't know anyone with a Ripcord. Hopefully some others will chime in for you.

    I have a QAD rest and love it, don't know for a fact but I don't know if the ripcord locks down when shot and could get kick back. but again cant remember where I heard it.

    Only fall away rest I've ever used is the Ripcord. No complaints, never let me down.

    I have the QAD HDX and I love it. Ripcord looks to be a good rest too.

    I have an QAD HDX and appreciate that I can let down slowly from full draw and the rest will stay up.

    Had QAD, switched to Ripcord Red, now I am shooting the Mathews QAD.. Never had a complaint with any of them. Only preference I have is the QAD stays cocked. Other than that, love both brands.

    I just like trying new things, you cant go wrong with either one. This time I just wanted my rest to stay cocked.
