Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a QAD Drop Away to work properly on a Black Eagle? Just bought the bow used in mint condition and I am stoked since its my first Oneida! I have used a QAD on my Mathews for years and love it. I would love to use it on my Black Eagle. Any help at all would be appreciated.

biglit21 yes you can use the QAD on your Oneida BE . I have used a Whammy and Limbdriver on my BEII and they work great. If you look in this section you will find a topic on drop away rests. There are pics to see how others have made them work. I make a part that works well for them just need to know if rh or lh bow. You will enjoy the Oneida BE as it is a fine shooting bow.

How does it work and where is it attached? Thanks.

biglit21 not a problem on the late response. If you look here in the discussion area you will a section for drop away rest. There are pics there to look at and see how they work. The one that I make is there but set up on the top limb for a limb driver rest. The part works the same but only on the bottom limb. That is why I need to know if lh or rh shooter. I have used this part on a whammy rest and have had problems at all. But I think that you may need a different type of connection for the QAD. I believe that it works under tension of the cord to make it go off. There is one on the site that shows just how it works. If you need any help let me know and will try my hardest to help out. Gene

Road Hogg is the gentleman that I was trying to think of. He has a set up that may work better for your QAD. Give his a look and see the difference in the two. Gene

Brad that's what we are all here for. To help each other in the best way possible. So get in touch with Road Hogg he will be very helpful on how to set up for the QAD. If you ever think of using the limb driver rest let me know and will hook you up and help any way needed. Gene

Watching this with great interest. I like the whisker Biscuit on my Black Eagle II, but wish I could try a QAD.

Not yet. I have not had the chance to call him myself, but I am planning to touch base tomorrow. Were you able to reach him?

Yes I spoke with Jerry and using the whammy may not be exactly the same but can explain how he sets them up. He said no problem give him a call.

Just wanted to update you guys on the QAD set up. I tried attaching the cord to a binding screw at the timing screw location on the lower right side cam. It pulled the rest into position, but unfortunately does not leave enough slack in the cord for the rest to fully drop away. It has become apparent that the cord will have to be attached closer to the rest which is also further away from the axis of the cam. I will have to fabricate a 90degree piece to achieve this similar to the way Road Hogg set up his whammy, but in a different orientation. Of course this is still theoretical. I will post pics as soon as I get it set up properly. Due to the holiday season, it may take me a month to get it right.
