I'm going for the QAD Ultra HD next week myself.

I've had a Trophy Taker Exteme for about three years now. While it's been a great rest; quiet and accurate it has two flaws IMO. First it doesn't have the full containment of the QAD, close but not there, second there's a small plastic washer between the launcher arm and frame. This washer has worn out a fell off twice, the last time during a weekend hunt. When this happens it causes the launcher to over center and throw your arrow very high on the target.

So next week I'll be headed to the Bow Zone for a new QAD.

After having a ripcord, QAD, and several others over the years I am still sticking with the whisker bisquit on my Z7 Extreme. Had a QAD mishap on a trip last deer season so I'm not gonna chance that again. They are all great rests but for my piece of mind I'll stick with the biscuit. I am grouping arrows in a 1"group at 20 yards. That's about all I need. It's silent, no moving parts, and I can spare the 1 ft per second of speed loss

I have to disagree on the biscuit being quiet, it mite seem that way BUT they are very loud in a hunting situtation, you WILL have a hard time drawing on a deer inside of 20yrds without it hearing the arrow dragging thru the biscuit....WW

I disagree. With arrows that have a coarse or matte finish maybe, but with arrows having a slick finish like the beman MFX or most eastons there is no noise.

They have changed biscuit some how and you only lose one foot per second. I tested it on my sons bow. Might be why the new ones are quieter also.

RIPCORD! I had problems with the QAD plus you get more bang for your buck.

I like my rip cord...but it does not have the option to stay raised in a slow let down, wish it did.

After research and talking to buddies that strictly bowhunt, I'm going with a Limbdriver this season. I'm still using a spring loaded rest, and this one will be a huge improvement in accuracy and ease of use.
