QAD ultra dropaway rest

I just installed a QAD hunter tonight. Decided to go with the basic model to see how I liked it. Shot a bunch of arrows at different ranges and I am completely impressed. That last comment comes from a guy who used a whisker biscuit for years. The rest is very easy to setup following the supplied DVD instructions. My groups at 45 yards went from 4 inches to 1.5-2 inches. 20 and 30 yards my arrows all touching fletchings in the target.

Pros: I like the fact that if you have to let down on draw the launcher stays up in a slightly rested position.

Cons: I did not like the fact that the launcher arm is a hardened plastic. Will have to see if it holds up to the amount of shooting I do, 100+ arrows a week for practice.

I agree.. QAD makes a great drop away rest. They are a Great company as well.

 

Ditto, I was shooting a whisker biscuit then purchased the QAD dropaway. Awesome rest with impressive results. Definitely an improvement over the biscuit.

 

I really like the QAD ultra.(even though I do not have one.) The next rest I buy will be a QAD.

Dave, how long did a biscuit hold up to that kind of shooting? C uses them for bowfishing and I'm not impressed with their lifespan there at all.

 

Hey Dave, I have had one on my bow for 3 years now. I have not had a single issue. I shoot 3D tourneys on weekends and practice (not enough) during the week, also hunt. It has seen many arrows go past it without having any issues. I think you made a good choice! Im very pleased with mine.

 

Just installed this on my PSE and after a few arrows I'm thinking of putting one on my Bear.
Great product and easy to use.

 

I'm looking at getting one of these tonight. What model does everyone prefer? There is a big price difference in the Pro-series and the Hunter model. The "lock down technology" makes sense, but do you really get "bounce back" w/ the hunter model?

 

I've got or set up all of them and the LD seems to be the best bang for the buck. The Pro series are a lot nicer to tune than the Hunter but if you don't fiddle with your tuning much them you can scrape by with the Hunter.

 

C, I usually get well over a thousand shots out of a WB before I change it out. As far as the QAD ultra Hunter rest, I can see that the Hunter model could be a pain to setup. It does not have the adjustment options that the LD or HD does. I am fortunate to have an eze-eye lazer tool and all the nice little levels required for setting up a bow. "I like being self sufficient when it comes to setting up bows".

Once I get done with shooting the heck out of the Hunter model and verify it will hold up to my standards, I will more than likely upgrade to the LD or HD simply for the ease of adjustment. As of today I have well over 300 shots with the hunter and I am still impressed.
