At a glance
The Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter at 325g and offers a much wider curve selection with six blade options, while the QR6 comes in at a comparable price point and is built specifically around a fast, low-kick release. If you want more stick customization and a hybrid kick that handles multiple shot types, the Blackout wins; if you want a stick tuned purely for quick-release shooting, the QR6 is the more focused tool.
