My current rest's launcher arm broke and when I went to replace it the screws were soft metal and rounded out. This company is not even open on Fridays so I'm going to change brands.

I'm thinking of the QAD HX rest. I like that it has a stop function and seems to be of good quality. Anyone else using this rest?
 
I have the QAD Ultrarest HDX, but I am a beginner archer and this is my first bow so I have nothing to compare it to. All I can tell you is that it's quiet, easy to use, holds my arrows really good, and helps me put a lot of arrows on target. My pro shop technician told me that over 50% of the hunting bows they sell these days leave their shop with the QAD HDX. I didn't have time to research it, so I told them to put one on mine too. It's working really good for me, but like I said I have nothing to compare it to.
 
Both are great rests and you won't go wrong with either. I just like the ripcord better for the customer service and it has far less plastic parts including the paddle
 
I reluctantly put an HDX on my bow. I went to get a Biscuit but they didn't have any in stock with the correct size hole for my Axis shafts. I thought my Blazer vanes would make contact with the "containment" bar on the HDX so I dremeled it off. So far so good. I like that you can let down with it and the launcher stays up. I'm still not keen on drop aways though.
 
I read on A.T. that the target size shafts wouldn't clear the bar and that they had cut it off. The Axis shafts are a lot smaller diameter but still looked like it would be close on contact. I just went ahead and cut the bar off. I did run into contact issues with the timing of the rest...I am using the cable slide and couldn't get it to hold the rest in the full draw position while still letting it slide on the cable...when I would get it tight enough to hold the rest into shooting position, it would just ride with the cable and not let it slide through it. I got it fixed now.

I like the free SOG knife that came with it. That is pretty cool. Pay $109 for a knife and get an arrow rest for free haha.

The knife was definitely a cool feature. If I have any clearance issues I will remove the bar as well.
 
i have shot both ripcord and now the HDX both did great but i like that you can let down and the lauch arm stays up. been caught too many times letting down and the arrow comes down on the riser.
