I got fletching contact on the rest, everything is inline an level. Im shooting a bowtech destroyer 350 at 63lbs, using 3 blazer vanes, an the rest is a qad ultra rest hunter... not sure if my rest is dropping quick enough or what.. any suggestions?

How did you verify everything was in line? Shooting paper? Have you varied the rotation of the nock? Cock feather vertical with that rest. Which Fletch is tearing? Have you checked clearance to the cables?

Inline by matching the shaft to the center of the bow (as close as i could) and level.. cock feather is up and its the bottom two is catching.. clearance is good on the cables

Sounds like your rest is causing contact to me.

Both my bowtchs seem to like to be a little nock high and angled twords the riser slightly. Believe ot or not the riser will flex a bit when drawn back so being perfectly level and straight may not be the best for your bow. Are the lines on your rest lining up at full draw or is one ahead of the other?

May want to check if your fletchings are hitting the cables and rotate your nock accordingly.

Odd feather down, Spray foot powder or monkeybutt to see where its rubbing.
