Default rest and sight transfer to king cobra

I am thinking of going to king cobra and wanted to know if there are any issues with the QAD ultra rest and HHA single sight pin set up with these bows

thanks

Great good to know.

BTW do you have any experience with tuning the cobra?
If so your thoughts would be appreciated. I shoot the prodigy now and their binary cam system is really easy to tune.The prodigy is going to my son so I'll give APA a try since I've heard positive things about them. (2015 and 2016 ATA you tube reviews as well all positive)


Thanks again

And that's including my bowtech with overdrive that gave you some issues (for comparison sake)

If I were going to apa, I'd be comparing the new mamba 32 with that cobra. Speed isn't everything and I've heard great things about it.

Have fun with the new bow

Quite the beyond parallel limb design
limbs on that bow...

Agreed on the APA ..the king Cobra has a short brace height BH @ 5" common with high speed bows...that isnt for everyone.

The M32 is 6 5/8, just 3/8 shy of 7" but still rated at a smokin 358 FPS which may be more forgiving.

I love my King Cobra. It took me a couple of weeks to get use to the speed and brace height, but now its awesome. Im running the QAD rest and a black gold pure 75 5pin. I don't use a stabilizer because I found the handle added enough front end weight. Mine is fully cranked up to 72# and I shoot 340 FMJs. Its probably a bit overkill but who cares but its a great setup. Here is a video of me shooting it 100 yards. https://www.instagram.com/p/BDUjBj0m...n-by=matloyola

The only problem is its not uncommon for you to burry your arrows nock deep into targets.
