QAD drop away rest didn't work for my Mathews

[hawkeye]

I finally drew a quality bull tag. 3a-3c. I thought after years of shooting a Bodoodle prong rest I would try the new drop away rest. I bought a QAD Ultra Hunter. After a week, many, many hours of tuning and phone calls to the tech at QAD I gave up. There was no way I could get total fletch clearance. I posted on Bowsite.com for some help and Keith from Ripcord saw my post and sent me a Ripcord rest. What a difference. The installation took 15 minutes and within 30 minutes of starting the installation I was dead on out to 50 yards. I wish I would have bought a Ripcord to begin with. I wasted a whole week of frustration trying to get the QAD rest to work on my Mathews LX. Also the QAD rest was very noisy, and the Ripcord is very quiet.

Im sure the QAD works on other bows but I couldn't get it to work on my Mathews. Just thought I would let people know before someone else spends a whole lot of time and money.

First of all, that hunt is horrible! You should just burn your tag and come up on my hunt with me! I'm suprised you didn't just go out and buy a new bow instead of a rest. You know my Bowtech will outshoot that Mathews. Are you going fishin with us on Sunday?

30-378shtr, don't laugh I probably would have bought a new bow, but with this Alaska trip coming up I thought I should try and save some money. I set Kays bow up for a back-up. That slow shooter is still fogiving as all get out. Yea I'm going to try and go fishing with you guys this weekend.

I love the Ripcord. I have put it on my last 6 bows, including an LX.

I've heard great things about both arrow rests. But everyone who has a mathews knows that the ripcord drop away rest is its best freind.

My Mathews loves the RIP cord I put on. Great rest!
