That doesn't seem intuitively correct.

I agree that it seems correct that the rest should be adjusted so that the centre line of the arow remains at the same height. However, surely the bottom nocking point should also be adjusted to keep the centre point of the arrow at the same height, and thus the arrow orientation the same (not the outside edge of the arrow), After all if you have very fat arrow, you must adjust either the top, or the bottom knowcking point, otherwise the arrow will not fit between them.

If I am just being a dense recurve archer intruding in to technical subjects I do not understand, pleas just ignore me. [I am really just a bear of very little brain]
