Shooting a 70lb Solution with 2" Blazers and I'm seeing build up on the rest from vane contact. Thinking of switching to either a Vaper Trail gen 7X or hamskea trinity hunter pro. Any thoughts on either of those 2 rests?

Hi....the 2 white lines mean nothing as they were intended to be a reference point but some came out of the factory that did not line up correctly. You want to get to the full upright position in the 1 inch of draw....I prefer the last 1.25 inches. You are getting fletching contact because the rest is not timed correctly. If you have the cord served into the down buss cable then you can adjust the cord via the thumb wheel. There is a small whole with an allen screw inside that you can loosen/tighten.....and you just pull the cord to the desired length and then tighten it up. I have also found on several of mine that the allen screw was loose on several new ones out of the box. And, you can always talk tot he folks at QAD...they are more than happy to help. Cheers!

as others have said... you want the rest to come up the - "last" - 1" to 1 1/2"
inch - at the end of full draw ! while at full draw, have someone mark your arrow tight to your rest. then have them watch as you draw to see where
your rest comes up at.
then you want that cord tight enough at the end of your draw for those 2 lines to pass each other just a bit.
just like manually dropping your rest... you push the thumb rest & quickly slide
thumb off release to drop it. same at full draw.
got nothing to do with vane size. it's adjustment.
when all else fails ... read the destructions !
if you make any adjustments to your rest during sight in. chances are you need to make the above adjustment - at least need to check it.
also need to see air under launcher in down position

I scraped it off with a rag the other day. I need to shoot it a few times and get some more contact and then I'll take one.

Turning the knock is a good suggestion too, unless that still isn't helping or the contact is pretty significant

"There is a little screw inside the rubber flipper tab where the cord goes into, loosen that screw and pull the cord out slightly then retighten. See if vane is still hitting repeat process until you get the timing right and the vanes clear. QAD instructions say the rest should be popping up within the last inch of your draw to full upright position"

You're the second person that said that there was an issue mounting to the Solution. Wonder if the Vapor Trail has the same issues?
