Where is his nock point and where on the rest is he contacting. How has he determined if there is actual contact? I would cover the fletched end of the arrow in gold bond foot powder and shoot it to see where the contact really is. How high is the nock point on the string from center? Also, the rest should not reach peak height until the last 1" or so of the draw cycle. These things are critical of any arrow rest.
We have determined that there is actual contact because he uses green fletchings and the fletching is turning the forks on his drop away green from brushing past. As to how high the nock point is on the string from center...I am not sure. Could you explain a little more on what you mean by this question? If I am thinking correctly on this question, I believe you are wanting to make sure that the arrow is ninty degrees perpendicular to the string when nocked and when the arrow is resting on the arrow rest in the "up" position...is this a correct take on the question? If so, I am pretty sure that the arrow is square to the string (I will need to double check though).
