LifeNRA Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I just upgraded to a Deluxe Quickshot from the Droptine QS. What I dont get is the spacer that goes between the mounting bracket and the bow riser. What is the purpose of this screw in the spacer?

buckee Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Which screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The screw is a set screw of sorts, there to keep the rest from moving John. Not the best pic, but here is a close up of the screw I think you are referring to on my bow. The little set screw behind the larger bolt is tightened to keep the rest secured.

LifeNRA Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yes its that set screw inside the spacer. Not sure what it was supposed to do. LOL! Is this supposed to keep the rest from turning up or down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Is this supposed to keep the rest from turning up or down? Yes John, it puts tension on when you tighten it up so the rest will not be able to pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 what about speed and accuracy? hey everyone, i've always wondered how much the whisker biscuit style rest slows down an arrow, compared to a drop-away or prong style. Any of you shoot both through a chronograph, with the same setup otherwise? Also, I was wondering about a similar rest type comparison, but looking at accuracy. Is a whisker biscuit style comparably accurate out to 40 yards and beyhond? Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Most definately accurate to what ever you want to shoot at. I shoot my broadheads out of mine at 50 yards and its just accurate. The speed issue isn't a problem either, shot several different types of fletchings through a chrono and had little to no variance in speed difference.

LifeNRA Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 You will get some speed loss if you use a helical in your fletching. Below is from the web site. Is there a speed loss? As compared to a prong style rest, the speed loss from 3" vanes is negligible. Four inch vanes or feathers with a 1 to 2 degree helical will produce a loss of only 1 to 2 feet per second. Five inch fletching will lose 5 to 7 feet per second, while using 5" fletch with a 6 degree helical will lose 12 to 15 feet per second. Here are other answers for questions you may have. http://www.trophyridge.com/service/faq/ Thanks William! I didnt install this yet, I want to wait till Saturday, the last day of deer season for the year! I figured it might be a pressure point to keep it still, just wasnt sure. How tight do you make that screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 How tight do you make that screw? Just tight enough to keep the rest from moving John. Be careful not to overtighten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
