Spring Steel Launcher
Just Converted my TKO Rest to a Spring steel Blade pictured in the setup below, does the angle look about right? I can not Find a Protractor but I would guess it is about 35 to 40 degrees. tried to get the tip as close as I could to the centre of the bow.

So, what is the correct angle?
I suppose vertical would make it scrape on the arrows and it would have next to no up/down springiness, so it might as well be rigid.
Horizontal is no good as the V would not hold the arrow and the fletchings would strike the bar that holds the spring steel.
Somewhere between is pretty vague, but too near vertical and too near horizontal are out, for reasons already stated.45 degrees would be a good starting point perhaps.
I suppose that if the spring was too weak it could be made to appear stiffer by raising the angle etc. Perhaps it could be angled to adjust the stiffness rather than change the spring steel itself.We could end up tuning rather like spring tension on a button.

38-40 degrees is the ideal setting.

not too bad, but I would put it at 38-40 degrees. I think you need that protractor.

angle
On a positive note, without the comments on what you need or dont need, the angle you have it set at is about 25 deg.
