Which off set mount is a good?

When I draw up i've noticed the bow doesnt settle straight, it takes a little correction by me to sort this out...i've read a few threads on the advantages of using a short rod one side to offset sight weight etc. Which one do you use and why?

I use an OK Better one and my wife uses a MAC Triad. Both are light weight and you can add weights to the end.

I suppose the honest answer is that they match the long rods.

We are currently waiting for some Posten rods to come from the USA to see how they work out.

I use Cartel Alternative 360 V Bar with one side taken off and the cheapest short rod I could find. I then played around with the angles on the V bar to find the setup I liked.

Cartel V-bar = 5 quid second hand.
Set of taps = 4 quid off eBay.

Chop v-bar at correct angle, drill and tap hole perpendicular to surface, easy. And no moving parts to move at the wrong time!

I use a Black Sheep 'V' bar anf a cheap short rod. It just happens that these were the bits I had spare. Why spend more when you have some thing that does the job?

I was using an Arten V-Bar on my Tribute, Just left one side off, Bought it because it was cheap initially, liked it because of the amount of adjustability it offered.
