    Ive been researching these 3 and its hard to make a decision on which one to buy.
    Such a wide price range. Is QAD worth this difference?

    What are your thoughts?

    Personally I like the Apache best. I was actually bumbed I wasn't going to be able to use it on my new bow but, NAP came out with the Apache CARBON!!! Thats my rest. I like the simplicity and silence of the Apache. Now the Apache CARBON does list for $120.00 but at 4oz and still the same featurs as tha original, its going on my bow.

    I have a QAD hunter rest which is basically an ultra rest but for only 50 bucks. I think that is a great rest and you get to leave it standing so it holds your arrow so you dont have to worry about anything you would have to with some other drop away's.

    Going on my 3rd Apache now and have been very happy with all of them. First the original, then the Micro, now the Carbon. :tu:

    I just got the Apache on my new bow this year, and so far I love it. Affordable easy to set up and adjust total clearance and dead quiet. I'm happy with it.

    I would love to try the Apache Carbon but aparently there isn't enough market for south paw shooters. Going to go with the QAD HD for the time being as they didn't forget about us lefties.

    thanks for the input guys.
    I dont do alot of spot and stalk so Im wondering if the full containment of the QAD is worth the
    extra money. But then again Id rather have a rest that will last.

    I would go with the QAD hunter. It is $50 and it is a really good rest.

    I'm going on my 2nd Nap Apache and will prolly have a 3rd when it's time for a new bow someday. I like how rugged it is and the full containment. It's silent and improved my shooting over my old WB. WB's suck IMO.
