A solid vote yes for QAD HDX here.... The only time mine failed me was because of operator error. I didn't tighten the little "football" clamp for the activation string onto my bow's cable enough and it started slipping while at a 3D tourney. Luckily, the gentlemen that I was shooting with had some tools on them and I fixed while in the field.
Since then, I've made sure to TIE the string into the cables (even when replacing) and haven't had an issue since. Even found online a little trick to delay the drop function enough to have it act like a solid rest, but then clear fast enough for the fletches. Holds the front of the arrow up in shooting position just slightly longer to maintain flight so there's no porpoiseing (high/low tail flight)
I like the function of the QAD in comparison to some of the ripcords that I've seen, in the way that the QAD will stay up in the shooting position upon a letdown. I'm not 100% sure that ripcords do this? Again, just guessing....
If/when you go the QAD route, don't force the launcher down from a shooting position. By forcing it down, it's hard on the internals. Just the tip of your finger/thumb and "flick" the lever to get it to drop....
Sounds like NBFK has an offer for you...
