Tried using the nocturnal and they rattle in my quiver enough to annoy me. I keep wanting to use them but the dang noise drives me crazy when I'm shooting!!
Had a similar thing happen and my rest cord had stretched a little and my rest didn't drop away. Had to adjust it and back to normal. Something to check
Have both in my quiver. Just shot a bear with the iron wills and the penetration was awesome. They both fly the same as far as POI. Can't go wrong with either. The downside to the iron will is if you lose it after shooting an animal your out $33 instead of $13 with the QAD.
My buddy uses them and we were very impressed with them last weekend. He shot a grizzly in the rear and it broke the front shoulder after passing through the whole body cavity. The arrow went another 10 yards after exiting the bear. Bear died in less than 100 yards.
Was thinking of the 260 spine also but like to keep my weight to about 500 grains. Running the 75% odds on my halon as well penetration is crazy with this bow and arrow combo
Don't have the pants but bought the coat and it is super warm for how light it is I was very happy with it this past rifle season when it was a little above zero. Hope this helps.
