I have set up one of these rests in the past, and after much adjustment discarded it.
You have to set the string/spring to lift the arrow within 1-2 inches before full draw.
This is vital, as if you lift the arrow too soon it will give clearance problems.
You should be able to get this by moving the string up and down the cable.
When happy a little bit of serving should hold it still.
As far as paper tests go all I do is one at longrod length the another a few feet further back (all tests done with sight and long rod REMOVED).
I then do a bare shaft test as final check.
To be honest I have tried many rests including the Air Rest,trapdoor and golden premier but I find the Trophy Taker spring steel rest is the best one I have come across.
It is simple and reliable without loads of springs,screws and bits of rubber.
But as with all things in archery the choice is YOURS.

Good luck
Nightimer
