Default Riser too wide for most rests.

In an attempt to re tune my bow I went looking for a new rest. The NAPs will not fit my bow because the riser is too wide or so I was told. When we readjusted it it only cleared the riser by a hair. The other rests were not as wide as the NAP. Has any one had this problem or know of a solution? Right now I just have the cheap wire rest that comes on most bows but it works. I know most people will say not to change it and probbably I wont but I would like to know what to do when I upgrade. I do know that I want to make all my adjustments now and not in November.
Thanks

If price is not an overall factor in choosing a rest I would recommend trying out a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone. I'm sure you've heard all the hype. See if your shop will let you fit it up first but I don't think you'll have any problems with fit as it has a wide range of adjustments.

I just can't say enough good about this rest. Try it and I guarantee you willl not be disappointed.

TKO will work on it.

Most of the GKF rests will work on it... TM Hunter, Golden Premier, Ultimate Toughman, etc... All of the models I have tried offer excellent horizontal adjustment.

The TKO is one heck of a deal if you ask me. Lot of options and versatilty for a $50 rest.

See there Mike! We agree on some things
