Title: QAD Ultra Rest
Post by: huntnphool on September 07, 2009, 11:31:34 AM: I would like to hear from the guys that are using or have used this rest in the field. It looks like a great alternative to the WB, and adds the fall away benefits.

That rest is by far the best rest I have ever used.I probably have used every kind of rest that has been made( I like to experiment )The Quad takes a little bit to set up but once you hit that sweet spot you will love it. :IBCOOL:

One problem that I've come across twice is the bounce back hitting the vanes. I recommend the Lock Down model to solve that problem quickly. Other than that, they are a quality piece of equipment.

I read a little about the Qad having problem because not enough grease in the gears, but I Personally have never tried one so , cant really say how it works.

It was easy to install after watching the instructional DVD and as far as tuning the bow it simple. I have the pro series LD HD. I'd give it a 10.
