Set-up and Installation of a Ripcord Code Red 

Love Ripcord. I bought a used bow and contacted them to get a new launcher as there is nobody selling spares in the UK. Blow me! They sent me two launchers as spares for free! Now thats how you build a brand loyalty. I like how the video is done so that he demonstrates too tight and too loose. Absolutely foolproof way to get the timing right. Well done.

I got one of these, setting it up in the next couple weeks, I’ll tinker with the timing to get it to that sweet spot and then shoot paper to make sure I got it centered since my knock point is where it fits me, from there it’s easy peasy

I like this fellow's videos: very clear, no attitude, knowledgeable and planned out. I shot indoor and outdoor target competition back in the 90s (original 2 finger Stanislawski back tension, Toxonics, aluminum arrows on a Pearson Pro Classic round wheel w. long stab.... the old days). He explains well and if I feel a need to replace the supplied WB on a PSE Stinger 3G for 2012, I will consider this rest.

I appreciate all your instruction videos you do a great job. Very informative and helpful. Going to get my Code Red today!

This is a great rest, very reliable and tough as nails. I recommend it highly

I bought the ripcord. Looks badass and works great

@T2TB Thanks you won't be dissapointed. It's a great rest and the company has great customer service.

@crazed20000 I have had mine out in single digits and it worked just fine. Rain and sleet can be a hinderance if it is allowed to build up on your rest or cord.

Nice video very informative

both are similar in design and function. I still prefer the Ripcord because I have shot it so long and never had a problem. Time will tell if the Medusa is as reliable

I am glad you mentioned turning cockfeather out because I shoot a PSE madness xs and alway have had issues with shooting cockfeather up but when i turn out ooooohhhheeeey she shoots nice and straight no fish tail what so ever.

I did use these too for a while but gave up on them because of heavy fletching contact. What ever I've tried this problem just wouldn't go away.

@ky3232 I don't see a problem with using it for bowfishing as long as you get proper clearance.

great video! did your rest come with a set screw as you didn't mention it?should be fitted to hold rest steady.

Alrighty I will try that. Thanks

@wayoftheblade Unfortunately not. I usually put some felt under mine if it starts to make a lot of noise.

@TheTxtreeman It sounds like your rest is not dropping quick enough. I have little experience with fobs so this maybe a question directed at Starrflight.

Yes, on the riser it does not make contact even, so the front of the launcher arm is higher than the back of the launcher. It is basically making contact at an angle

@bluegrasssingingman I shoot a big broadhead and have never had an issue. I do how ever flex every arrow before I begin shooting.

I'm getting a Mission Riot for Christmas and was looking at different sights, rest and quivers. Should i get this rest or should i get something else as a starter drop away rest. I pull 50lbs. Thanks.

is there a way to prevent the rest from smacking on the bow when its released or should it be putting the brakes on before it gets that low?? with my center shot set up properly on my viper v7 the left fork on the rest (as if looking down sights) is making contact when released.

@ikesoutdoors alright thanks, thats what i did, made a world of difference.Hopefully my buddy doesnt get too pissed when he notices the piece of felt i sniped off his poker table. be cool if the guys at ripcord maybe looked into making a silenced style internal brake system. i guess it is one of the more quiet ones already but that would still be sweet.

still a good rest in 2020

@crazed20000 Not with a Ripcord. I use this rest because it is trouble free. I have shot one for 4 years and had 0 problems.

do you ever have problems with drop aways not working in cold weather when getting snow and rain?

Can I use this rest for bowfishing as well or will I have to switch them out and re sight in everytime?

Alright thank!!

Only 21 grains H335? Your bullet must be a tad heavier than mine at 24.5 grains🙂

@bluegrasssingingman seems to work just fine.

At the end you mentioned football twice. What the hell has football got to do with archery ?

These rip cord rest when I shoot my arrow through I notice I'm having some marks,scratches on the right side of u shape rest where arrow sits, its like the arrow or veins are slightly hitting the side of the rest before it drops away, is that normal?,a pro shop did install ,plus I'm new to archery thanks...

I just bought a new bowtech assassin and i bought some fobs. The guy at the shop that is going to set up my bow has never heard of a fob. He is putting on this code red for me. is there any suggestions and or experience with this rest and setting it up for fobs that i should tell the old timer ? Are the fobs actually that good ? thanks

which rest do you think is better for hunting? the Q.A.D hdx rest or the ripcord? also for hunting what size peep sight would you recommend?

would this arrow rest foot ball go to the handle because i got a bear achery where does the foot ball go??

Hey friend can you please tell me what hand your shooting. I'm new to the sport and I'm trying to figure this out. Thx

Hi Ike, I'm having trouble in tuning my code red on my Destroyer 350. It seems I can't bring it down enough so it doesn't hit the shelf and the arrow stays under or alined with the burger holes. Do you know if this particular bow has that problem? I've send you an email with photos but didn't got an answer yet. hope you can help me.

whats it matter where you put the football clamp as far as how high or low you set it?

Thanks for the grewt video but what sight is that

@allamericanhunting It will fall when you let the bow down.

I have a question, I just got a code red and I have a diamond sb 1. The problem I have is the rest does not fit flush on the riser. Will this contact the vanes??? If so what is the solution

You have the rest set up incorrectly it shout come up to a 90 degree position at around the last inch of the draw cycle

if that is too short for his bow, then explain the use of extended draw rest where the tip of the arrow is 4 inches behind your hand, and besides, he wasn't even shooting. keep your opinions to your self.

@bluegrasssingingman looks fine to me too... even if it is to short or hanging out 8" too long who cares hes setting up a rest not arrow length mr obvious... I get so fucking tired of people that write stupid ass one liner comments on good informational videos nice vid by the way!

To all of you that are saying the rests are a POS. Don't knock them They just are not for you. Just like me with my Hoyt bow. I love my Vicxens. and I don't like Matthews. There are those out there that like Matthews and not Hoyt. It is all personal choice.

this rest is total crap! spend a little more money and get the qad hdx

Lol, u ain’t got a clue what you doing! 😅…… press the string in the buss cable , draw bow back so it takes the slack it needs , serve it in! Done! Throw that damn football clamp in the trash please
