Me personally, had one years ago. After the second deer busted me drawing because of the noise, it was gone. I was also irritated at how often I had to have fletchings repaired / replaced. Everything has it's drawbacks.Time for a whisker biscuit
I agree with you... But also pointing out the more moving stuff the more chance for problems..... Rather miss the shot and be able to keep shooting. I've not had any issues with vanes.... But since shooting feathers, yes, the biscuit is hard on feathers. 0 helical fletch with feathers throu a biscuit prolongs feather lifeEither way a lost deer is a lost deer, whether the rest fails (doesn't drop) or the rest fails (makes noise, rips off fletching.) Pick your poison. I much prefer the Ripcord, and yes, I've put multiple thousands of shots through both.
Yep, I guess at the end of the day you need to find what works for you. I'm partial to the RipCord, however, I also understand there is a level of risk. Heck, darn near everything on a compound can break. Then again, same could be said for everything we use / carry.I agree with you...

I went through 2 of the qad hunter. The cheaper one. Upgraded to the qad Hdx and haven't had any issues. It has a lifetime warrantyI’m leaning toward what you said bigterp that the arrow hit the shelf. Dang ripcord. It was good to me in October tho. Maybe qad is better or bowtechs rest they have.
