I've had mine since Jan. Using same type of 2" blazers as u. The bristles where the top vane go thru criss-cross only slightly. I have noticed no problems w/my set up. Is the hole on the WB the right size for your arrow. There should be quite a bit of room around the arrow. My pro-shop owner, (who also uses a WB for hunting) stated that they should not have a tight fit. Otherwise, it may be recentering the rest again. I guess when in doubt start at the basics & reapply everything. Also,are the black bristles in the 6 o'clock position.
