if so where might you expect to see the contact and what effect might this have on arrow flight / impact point ?

One would expect that with the arrow pointing inside the line( to the right that the arrow risked contact with the rest/button.

I had this dilemma with my Cartel Triples after I had fitted the Jager grip to sort out my heavy contact problems.
I set them up as per recommended outside the line with 2 thirds ish of the arrow point visable. Not quite right. One of the coaches commented to two of us, both shooting Triples that the thinner arrows such as the triples tend to need more to the outside. Tried this and based on results the arrows do fly better.

From recent experience heavy contact wrecks fletchings and makes the arrow fly like a bucking bronco. So glad I'm sorted.
