The whole point of shooting a drop away rest is to eliminate as much contact with the arrow as possible. If you're getting contact, especially with your vanes, I would take a look at how you've got the rest set up. You shouldn't get any contact at all.
This is true, but I am unable to get perfect clearance on my rest without having nocks turned a certain way. If I just stuck my arrows on my string the vanes would hit my cable.
