I've seen lots of bows set up with the rest and nocking point level with the button hole when they should be closer to the centre of the bow. I have changed at least 3 bows which have been set up in this way and managed to improve the sight marks on them by a considerable amount, in one particular example we changed to heavier arrows at the same time and managed to get a 10 fps improvement over the previous set up, the arrows were 45 grains heavier!

I would love to think that it's a little bit off but there are lots of people out there with bows that are set up according to convention, not what is most effective/efficient etc.
