Default RE: Pinwheel, et al, tune for high left tear?

All rests can be tuned to give the 11:00 tear, unfortunately with fall-aways it is much more difficult because the arrow is only held in correct launching position for a short amount of time, and it also does nothing to help with the arrow paradox like you get with a launcher blade or prongs or whatever supporting part of the arrow which is much more forgiving of spine variances and more widely tunable. This support can also be adjusted with spring tension, which also helps cover a wider range of shaft combinations. Therefore it is much more critical when it comes to choosing correctly spined arrows for fall-away rests and getting best groups at distance. Whatever you gain in the fletching-contact problem dept,(the original design of a fall-away was to improve this for those who could not tune correctly) you give up in tunability with them IMO. I've tried many fall-aways over the years, and always come back to a rest that is more readily tunable and gives consistent accuracy and performance. JMHO. I must say that in recent years alot of people are enjoying fall-aways, so whatever &quot;floats your boat&quot; is the best&quot;standard&quot; and &quot;politically correct&quot; answer here.....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Having said that, in this case you'll have to play with the dwell on your rest (time before it falls) and normal height and centershot adjustments to get a 11:00 tear(if you are right handed and shoot release) with a fall-away IF you have correctly spined arrows. A crank or two up or down on poundage will help in some instances to &quot;bring it in&quot; also.(helps correct spine) Good luck! Pinwheel 12

PS- If that doesn't work, just do as others of us have, toss it in the &quot;annex&quot; and go back to what works! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
