Just out of curiousity do you have some sort of fleeceskin on the shelf, or does the rest even hit the shelp upon release? Reason I ask is on my Martin my QAD was mounted so when it was in the down position the rest could not hit my shelf, it sat slightly behind. On my Bowtech it sits right over the shelf on the down position, but because its even with the berger button holes in the launch position, it can't and doesn't hit my shelf for any kind of bounce. Honestly, I have shot the heck out of mine and have NEVER had any problems.
