Max, that was a very good explanation. I can see both sides on this one but each to his /her own. I can't resist the challenges. Like you, I would love access to the truth about what the arrow wants.
Two simple ideas came to me last night when much needed beauty sleep would have paid dividends?????
One; let the rest stay up while the arrow is at rest. Any downward deflection pushes the arm down towards a magnet that holds it down until separated by the archer before the next shot.
Two; use the toggle switch principle. initially the switch is in the up position. Slight downward movement presses it to the down position.
Both of these should be very simple and use well known technology.
