After reading this thread, I figured I would try to do a similar mod to mine. First, I already had trimmed the back flat, then cut the loading slot in it. That helped my accuracy noticeably. When I tried to cut the slots out, I ruined the rest. By ruined it, I mean that every time I try to draw an arrow, it slips down into the slot, and does not remain in the center, where it belongs. I did NOT cut as much away as CG shows, more like half way between straightarrow and CG. I' m sure that Straightarrow' s mod would not cause this problem, and would still give the fletching very minimal resistance. I should have gone at this a bit slower, I guess. It is like cutting a board, ya just can' t put more back on![&:]

After trying this, I am perplexed as to how CG' s arrow stays in the middle of the rest.[]
