Default RE: Too Stiff a spine theory exploration

Ok all,
My question.... Does the arrow react the same vertically in a drop-away rest as it does horizontally to a plunger button?

I agree with recurves being extremly sensitive to spine because shooting off the shelf gives a very large contact point which causes the oscillation. Some of us went to a prong style rest and unless my information is incorrect(I don't shoot a rest of this type and never tried tuning one) the oscillation is still there.

If the drop-away rest is in contact only at the instant of the release and really dosn't contact the arrow after the first 1/2 inch or so on release, how does the verticle oscillation start? As the force would be in a straight line through the arrow.

Thanks, I hope I am clear in my question!
