QAD users trigger length

I had a little trouble with fletching contact again after getting my new string put on and tried to hint to the pro that he should lower the trigger string as I read it would trip faster.

I\'m just curious what some of you have for distance from the rest pivots axis to where it\'s attached to the string?
 
You don\'t want to pull too hard on that string as it can cause damage to the rest. What i did was seperate my cable and insert the trigger string between the two halves of the cable. I had it plenty low. Then as i pulled the bow back the trigger string slid up to the propper heigth. I then served it into place. I had an older QAD rest that had no timing marks. Now they have two timing marks to show propper alignment. If it is adjusted right it should trip fast enough. I don\'t believe the trigger string adjustment will have any effect on the drop speed. If you have it set up right and it is not tripping correctly you might contact their customer service. My old rest tripped on its own and would not stay up. I sent it in for repairs and they sent me a new one.
 
the TL1 fork change will require you to adjust the rest to get the arrow back to where it was..probably centered thru the berger.
i think it is the best option and if i had the QAD again, i\'d start with that launcher.

to answer the question. the instructions say to mount the cord to the cable at least 3\" below the elevation of a nocked arrow. i went closer to 6\" which put the \"football\" below the bottom of the grip. it worked GREAT!
 
I got the tl1 fork to fix my contact issues back in January with my old string, but after restringing it the contact was back, I could feel the difference in the riser when he raised the nock and rest 1/8 up and paper tuned.
What got me is it paper tuned with the fletching contact when I brought it in, the lipstick test proved otherwise.

I\'ve never really had a lot of stock in the paper tuning, but if I can see the arrow, porpoise, fishtailing or spiraling on the range I don\'t care what the paper said. The broad head will really tell the tale.

I just understood the lower down the trigger string was the faster it sensed the bow firing even if it\'s just a couple milli seconds.

I think by going to these fmj arrows the reduction in arrow speed will help either way.
 
The fork rest may be hitting your shelf and bouncing back up before the arrow passes
