WStreblo Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Which one is prefered the most by y'all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 there isn't a lot of difference now between the Ripcord Code Red and the QAD HDX. That said QAD set the bar for all other drop aways. forward assist, brake to keep from popping back up, and rest staying up after let down has been carried by QAD for a while. for that reason all my bows have QAD rests, with my most recent being the HDX.

elkoholic Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I use the QAD HDX and have no complaints as it has worked flawlessly. Hunting elk in the mountains can be rough on your equipment and the QAD rest has withstood all I've put it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I switched from a whisker bisquit to a QAD HDX one of the best improvements I have made to my bow great rest and have had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have used both, ripcord code red on my alphaburner and alphamax and a qad hdx on my elite and honestly the only thing i like about the HDX more is the let down feature where it still stays up preventing your arrow from bouncing around. Other than that they would be dead even in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WStreblo Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I bought the QAD. I'm paper tuning here in the basement and got a left tear I can't get rid of. In the last month I've had nothing but troubles. I got a new string and the bow is 100% in specs but still can't seem to fling an arrow true. I've tried arrows on both end of the spectrum from my FMJs (455gr) to my Easton Hexx arrows (380gr) and can't seem to put one straight. My rest is as far as I can move it... Bout to shoot my bow with a shotgun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WStreblo Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ain't goin to lie, the newer bowtechs are pretty sweet compared to the comparable Hoyt bows out there. I got the sucker flinging them decent. Still get a kicker here and there so some finer tuning is needed. Almost shot the dag gum thing with my turkey gun it had me so ticked off last night. I was paper tuning in the basement and actually blasted a FMJ right through the block target and into the cinder block. The ole lady don't need to know none of that so let's just keep it on the DL. I walk back tuned it and atleast it's a start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk back tuned it and atleast it's a start... it's hard to trouble shoot not being there, but I'd set the nock point so the arrow's square with it passing through the rest mounting hole. then look at the riser and get the arrow shaft so it's parallel with the vertical surface of the riser next to it. that should have you close. make sure your rest is coming completely up so the two lines of the thumb dial match and happens only in the last 1" or less of the draw cycle (close to full draw).
