QAD Pro Series LD Drop-Away Arrow Rest Aluminum

I have used this for a couple of years now and it works great! Durable, accurate, silent and contains arrow well. The sticky padding was a little lame. Came apart when attempting to pull off the backing to install but other than that it works great!

Works great, easy to install, easy to tune

Extremely precise. Didn’t come lose during my how season

Tried other rests. If installed right, this is hands down best for not disturbing arrow flight

I set this up on my Blackout NV-3 without issue, but after leveling it, finding centershot, adjusting elevation so the arrow is centered over the berger holes, and adjusting the cable to be timed with the witness/index marks, I kept finding the rest wouldn't go down when I'd shoot, but would only go down once the arrow fletchings impacted it. This naturally caused wild arrow flight, a bit of frustration, and some damaged fletchings. After troubleshooting, contacting QAD directly, and troubleshooting more, I couldn't find a solution. I finally found a video on YouTube where a guy had the same issue and shot a bare arrow through, proving the rest wasn't going down without the fletchings smacking it. He found the solution was to time the rest so that it reaches max extension on full draw, not relying on the index/witness marks. They weren't off by a country mile, but were off by about 1mm. That made all the difference in the world.If you're going to have witness marks on it, then make them accurate. Now I have to replace several fletchings. Fortunately now that it works, it works beautifully and I couldn't be more pleased.

When set up properly you shouldn't want anything more. after having my string and cable changed on my mathews I didn't check to see if was set up properly (cocking just as you reach full draw) and broke whatever locks the rest up. I was shooting a starrflight FOB which is a replacement for fletchings and is very accurate and a conversation piece . The only catch (no pun intended ) is that the rest MUST be down before the FOB reaches it. Before having the bow worked on I have NEVER had the FOB hit the rest which shows the speed and reliability of the rest and To show what I think of the rest I ordered the exact same rest to replace the other one. Also with the upper bar installed and the rest cocked you can rotate the bow in any position without the arrow falling out of place.

Fast, quiet, and easy to install. This drop away has completely stopped my vane strikes which I experienced with the Trophy Ridge Revolution V1. It was a good price and I like being able to lock the arrow in while it is sitting on the bow hook in the stand. I wouldn't want them to change anything.UPDATE:I got a great season of bow hunting in for 2014 and was able to harvest 3 whitetail deer with my current setup. This includes Obsession Phoenix 29.5" draw and 70lb weight, Beaman ICS Hunter 350 Arrows, Montec G5 broadheads, and the QAD Ultra Rest Pro. The first deer of the year was shot at around 15 yards and went about 20. He is currently at the taxidermist and was a beautiful 10pt buck. The other 2 were both does and one was at 37.5 yards. I really can't say enough about this rest other than buy it in the off season so you can save a few bucks. Even my dad with all his years of experience is thinking about switching to one of these rests and he swore he would never switch away from his trusty 2 prong rest. However after replacing the feather fletchings on all his arrows multiple times and seeing how well mine shoots, he is considering this upgrade in the offseason.

I was hesitant to buy a drop down arrow rest, but I am very glad I did. I had using a Whisker Biscuit for years. I loved the ability to lock the arrow in the rest and not have to worry about it falling out. I bought this rest thinking it would help with not having to fletch my arrows so often. It does indeed help with that, since the arrow does not touch the rest once released. It’s quieter than the Whisker Biscuit when brawling back and releasing the arrow. This arrow rest also has the ability to lock the arrow in the rest, which I love. I just which I would have bought this before hunting season. Great product and worth the money spent!!!
