You might check out the Trophy Ridge Revolution. I switched to it this year as well as several other members on here. It is the best and easiest tuning drop away/spin away rest I have ever shot.

Post by: halflife65 on June 26, 2012, 11:56:10 AM: I have a QAD Ultrarest on my Z7 and it works fine. However, the problem that I'm having is that, in order to paper tune it, I had to move it as far right as it would go. The containment arm is resting against the riser and can't go any farther, so if I need to move it further to the right when broadhead tuning I might have a problem. I'm going to do that ASAP so that I can determine if I need a new rest now and have it dialed in before season.

If you can, run a straight edge along the idler wheel and comare it with the string this will show even a suttle angle.

Oh and my vote goes to QAD, you can let down from full draw without losing full containment.

Post by: buckfvr on June 26, 2012, 12:32:08 PM: Paper tune isnt the holy grail nor is a laser tool. I have a laser tool to set center shot and often times to get the arrow flight I am after, I have to tweak off DC as indicated with the laser. Both should be used as good starting points that dont always provide desired flight.

I agree, cam lean could/does cause center shot and flight problems.

Thanks Jbar - I'll try that when I get home tonight.

My wife has a ripcord that works well, though her arrows are pretty slow. Like Carpsniper, I love my Revolution.
