Default Browning F5 Tornado question

I will be helping a relative set up a new Browning F5 Tornado this Sunday and was wondering if anybody knows approx how far centershot is off the side of the riser to get a rough arrow rest starting point.
Thanks in advance

Default RE: Browning F5 Tornado question

The way you phrased your question, I have to assume your relative will be using an adjustable center-shot rest. If so, do not concern yourself with the actual measurement of how far to the right or left of center (right or left-hand bow) the cut-out of the window is.

Install the rest, mount a shaft, lean the bow against a support, string facing you, step back and eye where the string appears to be perpendicular with the cam grooves, then eye the point of the shaft to determine if the shaft is centered with the string, left of the string, or right of the string. Adjust the left-right of rest as necessary.

HOWEVER! Keep in mind that perfectly centering a rest is not a universal setting for all shooters. Whether your relative will need to adjust left or right of center will be revealed in flight tuning his shafts.
