    Hey all.
    So my shots have been kinda random and all low. Well I get to looking and you can see where my rest is hitting my fletching. I put some powder on it, sure enough, we have contact.

    So what now? I've never encountered this problem. My rest is a ripcord code red and it has been flawless since day 1 (March 2010).

    A few weeks ago, I did take it in and the guy took the string off, cleaned everything up, and reset the timing. Could it be that the rest is now out of time? (cable no longer located properly?)

    The knock point has never changed and the rest position has never changed. At 20 yards, you really can't tell except you see he powder fly. At 40+ yards I can't get the arrows north of the bullseye.

    verify your nock point and your rest timing. It's universal law; any time a component has been removed and re-installed and its not operating as before, you can bet something related to that component has changed.
