Superstar rest tuning problems

[The Black Fingernail]

I have been shooting a PSE LS500 compound for a few years now. I used to shoot it with a Barner drop away rest and have also used a springy rest with good results. Thought I would invest in a better rest so I bought one of those Superstar arrow rests (the finger shooter version with the two springy blades).
My arrows are the correct spine, nocking point was set 1/2 inch above square for finger shooting, and wheel timing was perfect, but I keep getting fletching contact on the side pressure blade. I have tried changing the rest position, using smaller fletchings and turned the nocks to launcher style instead of fingers. No luck there. The only way I can eliminate fletching contact is to raise my nocking point so the arrow passes the rest tail high, the problem with this is my nocking point is now very high and the arrows porpoise. At 15 yards the arrows are tail low. Grouping is ok, walk back tune was good, but arrow flight is rubbish. Any advice welcome.

I have zero faith in blade arrow rests, get yourself a button and magnetic flipper rest and bare shaft tune your bow get get the weight right for the spine of the arrow you are using.
That's what I have on my Oneida and I have no clearance problems even with 2315's and 4 inch vanes.

Thanks for the advice. Couldn't afford to get a new rest at the moment, but I did a bit of bare shaft tuning as opposed to the paper test I did when I set the bow up. I lowered nocking point and this corrected the problem. I think because the arrow was porpoising it was leaving the bow tail low and catching the rest.
I am now converted to bare shaft tuning.

What you want to do is re-set your nocking point, it sounds like its to high.
Then give up archery!
