Qad Timing Cord Black

The QAD Timing Cord Black is a precision archery component designed for compound bow users who demand reliability in the field. After decades of hunting seasons, experienced archers recognize that release timing and arrow flight consistency depend on every component in the system—and the timing cord plays a critical role in QAD's drop-away rest mechanism. This black timing cord synchronizes rest deployment with your shot cycle, ensuring the rest drops away at the exact moment your string is released, eliminating arrow contact and maximizing accuracy at distance.

QAD timing cords are engineered to withstand repeated draw cycles and the environmental rigors of hunting—from early season humidity to late-season cold. The black cord resists UV degradation and maintains consistent flex properties across temperature ranges, preventing the brittleness or stretching that can throw off rest timing. Lightweight at just 0.01 lbs, the cord integrates seamlessly with QAD drop-away rest assemblies, where precise tension and release timing directly impact arrow spine alignment and broadhead flight. The compact 3.75-inch dimensions fit standard rest architectures without bulk or interference with your bow setup.

Bowhunters running QAD rests—whether you're shooting 3D competitions or pursuing whitetail at 40 yards—should inspect and replace timing cords annually or after heavy use seasons. Worn or frayed cords lose their release integrity, causing erratic rest movement that degrades grouping. This replacement cord is essential maintenance for any archer committed to shot consistency and ethical, clean kills in the field. Installation takes minutes and requires no special tools, making it an ideal maintenance item to keep in your bow case for season-long reliability.
