I have shot a lot of arrows out of my new Reezen 7.0 and I think I am over the "new bow" excitement and I still love how the bow shoots and feels in my hand. The only draw back I am having is getting my QAD rest properly tuned. I am still getting a little contact to the bottom right of the launcher arm. I don't think it is the rest since I have had 3 rest on the bow so far and getting contact with all three. You just have to set Mathews bows nock high and that is weird to me coming from shooting Hoyt's basically my whole life.

Jeremiah and I were told you really want to shoot the new Mathews rest with either bow. Maybe this is why?  :dunno:

The arrow center should be a tad over the center of the berger hole.  Set knock a 1/16 over center from there.  Then its just making sure the launcher arm is up all the way for the last say 2inches of the draw. Shouldnt get any contact then. :twocents:

I was having the same issue on my Reezen with fletching coming in contact.  Papered the arrow and it was kicking it.  Adjusted the drop away and then adjusted my release loop.  I think I finally have it tuned, but it took about an hour of fiddling to get it right.  I kept spraying the gold bond food powder on the fletching so I could see where the contact was being made.  You will also see the poof of powder as the fletching makes contact.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I got some good info from a lot of folks ! The Mathew's forums have some shop owners and bow techs, they where able to help me out and resolve my contact issue. They basically told me the same info as CRUNCHY(thanks man). You have to find center shot making sure the center of your arrow lines up with the center of the berger hole. Then measure with a ruler 11/16" out from the berger hole. Then check for contact with foot powder spray(tanactin sp? makes a no scent spray).Then if you don't have any contact, paper tune and your ready to go. If you really want to tune, you can do a "walk back paper tune". Man,this bow can basically shoot it self and I have never been more accurate past 30 yards,I am totally happy with the bow now :IBCOOL: I am still kicking around the idea of switching to FMJ 300 with shuttle t's,I am currently shooting Axis 340 with slick trick magnums. I feel I am under spined,what do you all think?

What's the arrow length (V of nock to end of carbon), draw weight, draw length and point weight?  The 340 will work for a lot of setups, but there's a chance that you may want the 300 spine; it'd take the combination of 70+ draw, 30" draw length, 30" arrow, and > 125 grain points though.  Nothing wrong with either arrow choice, either.

Arrow length is 31, draw weight is 70,draw length is 30 and point weight is 100. I am also thinking of going with a 125 grain tip as well.
