Don' t be so cheap




...LOL
All the cable driven drop aways are usually set up to pick up in the last couple inches and drop in the first couple inches. The reason for this is to get the rest up earlier you have to put to much stress on the cables, as the tight cord will not allow them to move back.
You can get around this to a degree by adding a spring to the string. I have used this method on my converted mathews rest. The spring allows enough tension to get the rest up earlier, and still allows the cables to slide to the rear. it will also drop later in the power stroke.
good luck
