inertia arrow rest

[geoffretired]

Hi Rik,
One question, what is Diamagnetism?
With the Barner rest (Rick McKinney was involved eventually) the trigger was the jump of the riser towards the archer. This left behind the weight that supported the arm. The timing could be changed so the delay could be shortened. Mine certainly worked fast enough on the recurve. The problem was adjustment was crude and the mechanism was sensitive to all sorts of things like weather and dirt.

A simple, if inaccurate explanation is that diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field (rather than attracted to it). That is to say, they move away from both poles of a magnet...

Thanks for the clarification on the Barner rest.

Thanks for the definition of diamagnetic.
