Arrow rests

[Elkextreme]

Looking to possibly change out my arrow rests. Im currently using wicker brisket and been looking at the drop away rests. Primarily Nap Apache, Rip Cord and QAD- HDX.
I've never used anything but Wisker brisket so I don't have any experience on any dropaway rests.
Any valuable information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

QAD is the only one I've used and I love it. Never heard anyone complain about that brand

I've used QAD and ripcord, both are great rests, huge upgrade over a whisker biscuit.

I have used the QAD for the last 5 seasons and I love it. No issues here.

Hands down QAD

Between RipCord and QAD, I prefer QAD.

I like simple. I like whisper biscuit. Less things to go wrong.

I use the Ripcord Ace, and I really like it, but the QAD is a great rest too. Whatever you get, make sure you can let down without the rest falling. I had an original Ripcord rest at one point, and it would fall when I let down and my arrow would hit the shelf and create noise. If you're letting down on an animal, you need it as quiet as possible, and you want to be able to redraw the arrow quickly if necessary. I didn't realize some rests drop when let down when I switched from a whisker biscuit, and I wish someone had given me a heads-up. I did like the simplicity of the whisker biscuit, but I found that both my accuracy and my fps improved with a drop-away.

I have used QADs and have never had a problem. I have heard of rare issues w/ QAD and Rip Cord issues in very cold weather late hunts. On my son's bow we are looking at a Hamskea.

Went to a spott hogg 'finger' years ago, if it ain't broke...

The Wife has shot off a QAD for 5yrs, never an issue.

QAD Ultra . I shot a WB for a few years and it was ok out to 25 - 30 yards I put a QAD on and it was a big improvement out to 60.

Have the QAD ultra-rest HDX on my bows. Nice rest, no issues.

You're going to get a thousand answers.

I use and love the Vapor Trail Limb Driver PRO V.

NAP Apache is also good.

Lots of people recommend the Hamskea also.

A limb-driven drop away is easy to set up and faster response for the rest to drop whenever you want it to.

I have the same trophy taker pronghorn rest that i bought new in 2007 i believe. that rest has been on probably 10 bows. Its simple and bullet proof!
