Default RE: anyone have thoughts on the ripcord arrow rest?

I've had one for awhileandthe fork touches the shelf when it is down or else the bow will not be paper tuned right. I fixed that problem with some mole skin on the shelf. I took off the arm that comes over the top of the fork after a couple of months. I don't know why, but I was shooting faster without it on. I had the bow at 255 fps when I had it on and once I took it off I gained 2 fps and then I added some string bats and the meta peep and put her up to 260 fps. The rest works the same without the arm on so I don't see the point of it unless your bow gets turned upside down for some reason. Its definatley a good rest and I like how you can cock the rest up before actually pulling it back. I'd recommend this rest to anyone.
