dropaway rest
MIKEXRAY:
I went from the whisker ( hated it for 2 years ) to the Trophy Taker full containment last spring on my Mathews. It is the only newer drop away I have shot but I don't see how you could make it better. I was shooting bullets through the paper in 5 shots, walk back tune was good & my point of impact for field points & broadheads is the same out to 60 yards. I would at least consider it. The full containment is awesome & it does not matter where the arrow is, the whale tail picks it right up & centers. Good luck with what ever you chose. Mike

from the reports on Archery Talk it still bounces
KDume:
Jason you are wrong about the rip cord. If you lift it by hand it stays up, to release it pull on the string.
heartshot:
I been happy with the Vapor Trail Limb Driver. Doesn't have a containment thing on the rest itself but a rubber arrow holder on the shelf that suits me fine while walking around or just holding an arrow in ready the position. Just my :twocents: might be worth less. :chuckle:

The QAD has metal internal parts while the Rip Cord has plastic, when you flip up the lever on the QAD it stay in the upright position unless you release at full draw, if you come to full draw and let down the lever still stays in the upright position, the Rip Cord falls weather you release or not, and the QAD rest has a brake on it to keep the arrow rest from flipping back up after your shot, when the Rip Cord has a potential to bounce back up after you realease and hit your arrow.

Yeah the Rip Chord Code Red is what I have and it has an internal break. I have the Rip Chord and LOVE IT!!! That being said if I could do it over again I'd get the QAD. Simply because the QAD stays upright unless you release, where the Rip Chord will go back down even if you slowlly let down. Either Rest you can't go wrong, but... I'd get the QAD. Have never heard a complaint.
