I just picked this bow up on Saturday! Shoots awesome! However I think the fletching are hitting my QAD rest based on the felt that is getting a little messed up that is on the rest.
Are the QADs quick enough for fasts bows? ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Have not had any fletching contact on my Reign 6 shooting a QAD. Mine shows wear in the in the V part where the arrow shaft makes contact. I am shooting 60lbs though. Specs say the Bowtech Ultrarest QAD was tested to 400fps with total fletching clearance.
Have you noticed any erratic arrow flight? |

Yep. They are plenty fast enough. You may have a timing issue. I would ask the nearest pro shop to take a look.

Have an insanity with same rest, no issues. I do turn my around a certify way just to make sure they don’t make contact with the top part of the rest. Sounds like you make need to time your rest better.

Only thing I have seen is some arrows have a slight fish tail to the left and come back. I have a relaxed neutral grip with an emphasis to not torque the bow to allow contact with the cables.
I may just need to look at the straight shooting arrows and see how I have the fletchings set with the string. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How do you time them to drop faster? Tighten the cord?

If it is the QAD hunter, it doesn’t have the lockdown feature, and you could be getting bounce back contact. The Reign 7 IBO speed is 340, but it doesn’t get there. I would call anything that truly hits 350, a speed bow. I really like the Reign 7, and the 6. I think they’re the best overdrive binary bows that Bowtech built. What speed is your bow actually shooting?

QAD’s are plenty fast enough. I had one on my 70lb MR5 and it shot great.
Are you shooting with the cock vane up? To verify vane contact, you can shoot an arrow with lipstick on the vanes. Then check for lipstick residue on the rest. |

Paper tune the bow yet? Fish tail shouldnt be from hitting the rest.

I was using a QAD on an RPM360. It's not that your rest isn't dropping fast enough, it's not setup properly.
When you draw your bow, when is the rest coming fully back? Knowing this will help diagnose your issue. |

In this case, you probably need to get it to a good shop and start from scratch. Cam timing, harness tuning, centershot, and rest timing. The QAD LD, has the lockdown feature, so you shouldn’t be getting bounce back unless it is positioned too low, and launcher is hitting shelf before locking down. A press is needed to do all this.

skip down to 3:00 minute mark................i personally stay on the meaty part of my thumb, if that makes sense.....i tried to find one that levi morgan did on the subject. unlike other things in life, with your archery grip, deeper is not better... |

Thanks for the tip man. That might have cleared things up. I came home and shot 5 quick shots utilizing this technique at 20yards without any arrows fish tailing. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
