This past weekend I decided to paper tune my new hunting bow. I just bought a G5 Quest Rogue with 60# limbs and a fluid cam. Sweet drawing bow and has a great back wall. Smooth shooter also. Anyway, thanks to scrub-buster for some serving thread, I was able to serve in my nock set and peep sight. I tied in a D Loop and was happy with everything so far. I rigged up a paper tuning setup and first shot wasn't very far off a perfect bullet hole. After 5 shots I had it cutting paper perfectly. I decided to go ahead and snug the rest down and that's where the problem occurred. I know to not over torque those little fine thread bolts so I wasn't applying much pressure at all, but it was enough to brake the housing of the whisker biscuit. After looking at the housing material, it looks as if the cast was poor. There were holes in the material, very porous. I have sent Trophy Ridge an email with pics and am hoping to hear from them soon. Hopefully they will replace the rest. I'm just glad it happened now and not while in the field. Seems as if I'd have just bumped the rest against something that it would have broken. Oh well, back to the drawing board, but I should be able to get it paper tuned again pretty quickly once I get another rest. Any one have experience with Trophy Ridge customer service?

Good news! Trophy Ridge responded to my email today and are sending me a replacement bracket for the rest! That's great customer service right there!

Glad they took care of it for you. You should still have time to test that bow out this season.

That's what I'm hoping to do! Gonna walk back and broadhead tune this Saturday. Hoping to take it out and break it in on a doe or two. If not, then gonna give it a go again for a gobbler this spring.
