Arrow rest

[wingate_52]

i have a win &win winact 2004. i have a spigarelli magnetic recurve wrap around arrow rest. the curved casting of the riser does not allow the rest to fit well, there is rotational and linear movement, the button is tight. any suggestions. i could pack it out with milliput and profile the rest to the shape of the riser, any solutions?

I had the same problem with a Win&Win Evolution riser and a wrap around arrow rest. I got around it by using strong double sided tape under the rest and then nipping the ring of the button with some pliers to tighten it against the riser; be very careful when doing this though, I managed to destroy my first button by overtightening it! The Milliput suggestion sounds like a good idea though - wonderful stuff that Milliput

I would just change the rest for a stick on one. There are many around, I personally prefer the ARE ones. They are very simple and light and they also have magnetic return.

with my bow my first arrow rest was a stanterd plastic one then i got a metal flicky one and i could really tell the difference like the arrow flew a lot smoother

Interestingly, I've just gone from a metal flicky one (the stupidly expensive Cavalier jobbie) to a Hoyt Plastic rest.

It's great.

I shoot a cheap Hoyt stick-on arrow rest on my borrowed bow. It works. Why did i think I needed an all swinging, all dancing arrow rest AND an adjustable button.What are the advantages of both setups? The price factor, the extra weight, the endless adjustments etc, are they really worth the time, effort and money?

If you're happy with it and you are shooting welll enough, stick with it.

The Plastic Hoyt rest is superb. I have seen a photo of Yun Mi Jin using a plastic rest.

im still a fan of the beiter rest, seems to work very well, and ive not had any problems with it, except if your nocking point is set too high then the arrow begins to wear the front of the rest down.

<font size="2">I bought a Beiter rest and have yet to put it on - it scares me </font></p>

<font size="2">Deadly Wonky, perhaps you could help me
What's all this backwards and forwards thing for?
And what effect does it have if you get the backwards and forwards adjustment in the wrong position?</font></p>
