Archery Store

My ripcord code red broke, was my own fault, don’t really want to go back to a whisker biscuit right now and don’t have $ 100 spare at the moment for a better rest, I have a Truglo carbon lying around I got for free, my only concern is bounceback and basic usage, is this rest fine for that? anyone have any experience with it? just need a rest I can use for a few months before I save up money that won’t bounce back up and cause my groups to widen out. Says on the product description " It has the best of both worlds as a full-containment drop-away arrow rest with sealed bushings that put pressure downwards at the time of launch. You can expect no dangerous bounce back from this arrow rest, and it is easily converted to work with a left-handed bow."

I just switched my from a QAD LD ultra rest on my Mathews monster 7 to a QAD HDX because i had it. After putting it on and doing some adjustments i tried paper tuning it. i couldn’t get two arrows that told me the same thing, one may tail an inch to the left and the nest would go 4 inch the other way. i shot probably 30 arrows while adjusting some things and couldn’t get a better result. i went as far as taking a slo-mo of it to see if my veins were hitting the rest or if it wasn’t dropping fast enough but neither seemed to be the problem… the only thing i saw that may be the issue is the string to the release is a bit thinner than the one i had on it before and there may be enough slack in the string to come up and catch the veins.

Is there something i can do fix this? or something else that may be causing the problem?

Hi everyone, I have a Vapor Trail Limb Driver Micro Elite rest and had it installed at a local archery shop. However, I have some questions regarding the installation and tuning. (I’m also new to compound so if these concerns are non-concerns please let me know).

I think the rest seems to be set low. When the string is at rest state, the blade of the rest is contacting the metal of the riser itself at an angle.
Is this normal? I’m just worried that the blade will slam against the riser after every shot and I’m it may damage the rest over time. You can see that the blade is marking up the black riser in the pictures where it makes contact. Additionally, the tongue used to have black tape/plastic stuff on it, but they were knocked loose.

I asked if they could raise the rest up higher, but they said it wasn’t possible as then the bow wouldn’t tune.
How would raising the rest cause the bow not to tune? Couldn’t we move the D-loop up with the rest to keep things level?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Thx.

I’ve been watching a buck all summer (actually this is the third year now) and he is very nervous. I’ve got multiple videos of him where he is feeding and then for no apparent reason drops out of the way. So it got me thinking about what to do on the shot. I’m sure at the slightest sound he will hit the deck so now I’m starting to wonder about my aim point (yeah I know, wishful thinking).

Watch him drop at :04

If you had this buck at 25 yards, where would you aim??

The new bowtech specialist will be here next week and im torn on what rest to put on it. Currently on my hoyt i have a QAD but have been looking at the AAE pro drop. What are the advantages of a limb driven rest? The bow will be strictly for 3D and some indoor shooting. I see a lot of guys on here like limb driven rests on target rigs. Thanks

So, I’m kinda confused about tuning with a drop away. I’ll be shooting a conquest 4, with a trophy taker pronghorn for indoors. First question, how can I tell when the rest is correctly timed? Also, where to start with the nock point?
