Thanks Rik and Rich,
Both of your inputs have cleared things up in my mind. I feel unhappy about guiding the arrow too far, especially as it is not flying in a straight line.
It would be very like the normal springy rest, except the fletchings would clear.
For those who set the nocking point high, there would be no advantage either as they have good clearance by design.
I appreciate the idea that simple is best as there is less to break. My interest in making things just takes over and I have to run with the addiction. I have shot hundreds of arrows from mine and found out the weaknesses. Those have been strengthened. All the moving parts are stronger than necessary, I hope
What attracts me to the idea is that I can get close to ideal launch angle without having to worry about the fletchings catching. I built in an adjustment so the time of drop can be changed. Give it too much delay and all hell breaks loose when viewed with a paper test.
My latest, is to make a hydraulic resistance for the trigger of my release aid.
It will, when finished, allow continuous squeeze but will stiffen if punched.
It may give me some security while going through the rehab.
Thanks again for the help.
