I went back to the hamskea versa rest for both a 2022 Hoyt and Mathews bow. Honestly it’s still light but built to handle anything you throw at it. Did this also because of the crazy prices they are putting on these new arrow rests. I’m really excited to see about the new Hamskea Everest which is sub $200 and has the integrated mount to keep up with the new tech.

I had 3 qads fail in a year shooting a lot. Switched to a hamskea and I’ve never had one fail. That said I went back to a qad this year on one bow and the newer ones seem better.

I’ve used both rests the QAD are nice due to your arrow doesn’t move around much, however I have been using the Hamskea Epsilon since they came out and I helped my arrow stay slightly more contained at rest with a Vaportrail shag pad on the riser shelf, really liking the Hamskea

Love my QAD light and never had any issues! I like the Hamskea but they are just so damn bulky and having the full capture of the QAD is nice! Archery is a mental game just as much as skill shoot what you’re confident in and what makes you happy!

You can tie the QAD cord directly to the down cable without a bow press. Just serve above the knot to keep it from slipping out of position. The benefit of this method is being able to fix it in the field with limited gear.

Subbed. These are the 3 I’ve been considering personally. Can’t believe the weight difference. I like the simplicity of the QAD but do feel like a hamskea is more accurate. I think the best thing to do is having the hamskea on my 3D bow and getting the qad for hunting bow
@hotshotelkslayer45476 ай бұрын
Appreciate the opinions you shared! I actually feel a lot the same. I have shot both so know them well…. I hunt with the QAD….and now shoot year round with the QAD…. I won’t say ones better than the other but do shoot the QAD

Qad for hunting - hamskea for target and 3D. I've never had either fail.

I run the new CBE Defy (love it so far) on my Era. But, I’ve run the QAD HDX on my backup bow (and 3 other bows in the last 6-7 years) with no problems. I even have a QAD MXT on a “target” bow.

Was a Hamskea fan but after trying an Integrate QAD, will never go back to those bulky Hamskeas unless they come in with a real integrate solution… Qad’s are so slick n light! Got my Rx8 on order with a mx2 rest

Could you review: CBE Defy Ripcord Drive Cage I think these two are more on the budget friendly side of arrow rests. Would be nice to see more reviews on budget friendly gear. Thanks!

My QAD failed me just before a month out of state hunt. Love my hamske hands down.
@bowdude336 ай бұрын
I always stick with QAD due to the smaller profile, ease of use, and less cord hanging around. I get the argument that Hamskea is easier to replace in the field but at the same time you have a lot more cord exposed to be snagged or cut. The Hoyt’s have a gap for the QAD cord to run through so it’s even more protected
@thomasmcvay23796 ай бұрын
I switched to Hamskea, no issues hunting with it. And I feel it's built better and more accurate. I always felt like I had to adjust the tune on the QAD. maybe just my experience

@robbydallis7606 ай бұрын
The only positive to the qad is exactly what you said, it can hold your arrow up. I’m still choosing the hamskea every time. You said the qad is hunter friendly, but then you also said if it messes up, the hunts over…so just my opinion, the hamskea is a better rest and more hunter friendly.

Been hunting qad for 2 years very happy, love arrow being captured while stalking in, so far no failures, hopefully I didn't just jinx myself😂

I prefer the Qad I find them to be more quiet. I’ve never had any issues. I’ve tried the hamskea and they’ve always been louder.
@michaelcolthart40066 ай бұрын
I shoot a QAD on my hunting rig for the same reason….plus some bows can be a little finicky about where a limb driven chord is attached to the limb. Not a hard problem to solve but why deal with it if you don’t have to?
