Default Hostage Pro Bristle 'life'?

It seems to me that the bottomset of bristles on my Hostage Pro rest are wearing faster than I think they should be. Is it normal to go through them after 100 shots? ordo I maybe have things out of line somewhere? It normally has no contact with the other 2 bristle sets,and now a larger gap has developed between the top 2 and bottom 1, and it even seems to have more wear towards the string side of the bristles. Problem with nock point/rest height? Groups are opening up, too.

'08 Ross Cardiac single cam
Easton AxisNano 340's, 2" Blazers.
Nockpoint set square to rest.

Most likely it is a problem with me, and not the rest, but overall, I'm not too impressed with the rest, for $70 it would be nice to have a micro-adjust.[:@]

Most likely your bow is out of tune. I have one and shoot it with axis arrows and have seen no wear what so ever. If your bow is out of tune and the arrow is slamming into the bristles then they are going to wear out relatively quickly. I have seen them wear out in less than 100 shots and when I go shoot that customers bow through paper the arrow is tearing an awful hole.

As far as the micro tune goes... if you can find a micro tune rest for $70 I'd like to see it cause I don't know of any.
