QAD Archery Reviews & Rankings
Quality Archery Designs — the drop-away rest people trust.
QAD made its name on drop-away arrow rests that get out of the way clean and come back to catch the next arrow, and it's expanded into broadheads from there. The gear is bombproof and priced like it. Every QAD product we've run through the CareScore is collected here.

UltraRest Integrate MX2
2024 model
QAD UltraRest Integrate MX2
QAD's flagship cable-driven drop-away, built only for bows with the Integrate dovetail machined into the riser. The MX2 trimmed weight and bulk off the original Integrate MX, swapped the felt silencers for replaceable rubber dampers, and kept the velocity-based drop timing that made QAD the default rest on half the pro shops' walls. At $290 street it's expensive, but it's the rest most flagship hunting bows get fitted with first.

UltraRest HDX
QAD UltraRest HDX
The HDX is QAD's long-running Berger-mount workhorse — same velocity-based drop-away and total containment as the Integrate line, bolted to the standard Berger hole so it fits basically any compound. It's been in the catalog for over a decade and QAD still builds custom-branded versions for Mathews, Hoyt, PSE, Bowtech and Elite. No micro-adjust clicks here; you're loosening screws and sliding the rest the old way.
