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

Jason, according to the RipCord web site it does have an internal brake system to prevent it from coming back up.  Might be a new thing to them? 

from the reports on Archery Talk it still bounces

Jason you are wrong about the rip cord. If you lift it by hand it stays up, to release it pull on the string.

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   might be worth less.

I am trying to find out the same thing.  I tried the QAD and liked it a lot. Has anyone out there tried or used the Rip Cord?

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.

no I'm not,
the RipCord
cock the lever in the up position and come to full draw and let down slowly without releasing an arrow and the
arm goes down, cock it again to the up position and if you come to full draw and release an arrow it goes down.
Now the QAD
lock the lever in the up position and come to full draw, and let down slowly without releasing an arrow
the arm stays up in the ready position, no need to recock it like the RipCord, it's still up and ready to draw again.
The only two ways the arm drops on the QAD is when you come to full draw and release your arrow
and if you manualy drop it with the cocking lever.

What's the real difference between the QAD LD and HD? And which would you recommend?
I've been shooting a Mathews Down Force rest with no complaints but it also does not have any type of containment which could be darn handy when your heart starts beating fast.

[KDume]

Gotcha, I misunderstood what you were trying to say. Cause you are right about that!

TRIVAN, it's like a whisker biscuit, except the whiskers drop away. I love mine.
