RE: Cords on drop away rest
Every drop away I set up for someone I tie the cord on the cable dead even with the rest unless the serving dictates otherwise (Mathews). Then I just put it through right where the serving ends.
I put Winners choice string and cables on my alleginace and rather than tie a loop around the cable I served the cord to the cable. With the bow at rest it is even with the rest but at full draw it is well below the rest.
AS long as the spot where it is tied to the cable is below the rest when it starts to pull the arm up you are fine.
