Applying New Velcro Rest
« on: August 17, 2007, 10:01:00 PM »
Just put a new Velcro rest on my 56" Grizz. I did put it right up against the sight window plate. I noticed a slight kick in my arrow flight. Should there be a small space between the two.

THANK YOU,
Mike    :campfire:      :coffee:

Some may say you need a space, but from the high speed photos I've seen of arrows passing the the bow, I don't see the need.

I know I put mine right against the arrow plate and don't have any problems.

I suspect something else is going on.

THANKS Charlie    :thumbsup:   I also put on a new dacron string when I got the bow yesterday. Maybe have to re-adjust brace height or nock ?

Thanks,

I agree with Charlie that it's probably not the new rest material.  Like you mentioned, you should probably check your brace height since the new dacron string may had stretched a bit.

Yup, what Mr. Lamb and Ric said. I leave a space but only because that was the way I was taught. It sound like Brace or nocking point. Shawn
