Bought a new bow today!

Is that picture your posted of the bow laying on the box how you have the cord for the QAD currently?  If so that is the problem.  There should be a bunch of slack in the cord when the bow is at rest.

Nope, the guy decided to sell/give the rest to someone else.  I seem to have the cord tension set properly according to the manual.

Was just thinking anyway I have a QAD mounted on my Hoyt Maxxis and it has a lot of slack.  My Destroyer 340 rest cord has a lot less slack.  The cables on the Bowtech Overdrive Binary cams don't travel nearly as far as other cams. 

Good luck and let us know if you get it figured out.

QAD UltraRest, also posted this issue under Archery "bow questions" or something like that.  Thanks.

It may help if you paper tune the bow a touch nock high, this could help with possible contact of the rest. If you are hitting the side posts sometimes shooting a new bow and without realizing it you are torquing the bow a little. Like said above make sure you are shooting the right spine of arrow.

I know the arrows I have are a little stiff (cabelas, 65/80's) at the moment but I am not buying new arrows since I will be upping the draw weight before too long.  I am now at about 62 pounds.  I don't think I'm torgquing it.

Thanks

FWIW  Just last night I had to change my nock point. I was having a devil of a time figuring out why I was getting contact. My arrow was parallel to the ground and the timing was adjusted per the instructions. Then I noticed a tip to set my nock a little higher. Now my arrow looks like it is pointing downward, but paper tunes straight and I am getting no contact. You might try it.

BTW, beautiful bow.

I have a QAD ultra on my Diamond. I adjusted some items once and started getting contact also. I ended up taking just a little more slack out of the cord and it fixed the problem. Try matching the timing marks just a little to the overdone side, that might help.

Thanks for more ideas.  Bow's on the back burner right now, focusing on shrimp and lings, oh yeah, and work and getting my garden fenced.
