QAD UltraRest HDX Series Arrow Rest The new UltraRest HDX from QAD Inc. is built on the same technology as the Ultra-Rest with a few new improvements and like all other QAD Inc. products are made 100% in the USA keeping jobs in the hands of hard working Americans as stated by Director of Marketing and Sales Kevin Fry. With already great features like: 1) Harmonic Dampener Technology which helps dampen the vibration of the rotating cam. 2) Injection molded rubber thumbwheel is designed to force peak vibration amplitude to a minimum, while durable molded rubber creates a comfortable feel. 3) Extended Thumbwheel Lever 4) Timing Cord is now Adjustable at the Thumbwheel 5) Patented Lock-Down Technology 6) Patented eccentric cam, brakes, and Locks-Down into the Drop Away position, guaranteeing no bounce back. Allowing fletching clearance! For more on FOB’s visit www.starrflight.com. 7) Increased Spring Tension New Lock-Down technology allows for increased internal spring tension for faster launcher drop-away to work better with today’s faster bows. Another great benefit to this rest is the new design in the way it totally captures the arrow and contains it ever so quietly. Then there is VDT (Velocity Drop-Away Technology). QAD rests are the “only” drop-away rests on the market with a patented feature that allows the HDX to fall away only when the bow is fired, NOT during a slow let down. This eliminates the opportunity for any unwanted noise. Unlike other rests that drop-away because of inertia, or vibration, the Ultra Rest relies on the velocity of the rest moving forward; via the timing cord attached to the bows downward buss cable, to initiate the launcher to drop. VDT assures the Ultra-Rest remains in the cocked position even on a slow let down and will only drop- away if the bow is fired. VDT is a durable and reliable firing mechanism which is sure to change the way you look at drop away rests. Another technology is LDT; Lock-Down technology is when the launcher falls down now it locks down guaranteeing no bounce back. This also allows for higher spring tension and clearance on bow that were tested by QAD at over 400 fps. Introduced as well is AVT technology, Advanced Vibration Technology forces peak vibration amplitude to a minimum. This year they have added several great colors to their lineup. Available in your camo and black like before but now you can get your HDX in red, blue, green and for you ladies pink. As I have mentioned before about FOB’s. If you shoot these remember to use the wider shorter rest that comes extra in the box. This allows the FOB to fly through without any contact. Along with nice packaging you will also receive a DVD that explains the setup of your new rest and some other fun stuff as well. There are so many QAD drop away arrow rests to choose from it pays to visit them at www.qadinc.com and take your time reading about each one and picking one that meets your needs.
