Well guys...this is the TECHNICAL forum.

There are many other variables that go into what makes a particular rest more forgiving or accurate. There are two things that I try to do with any rest I put on a bow. Set the bow as close to centering the berger holes as I can, and more importantly IMO, mounting the rest as close to the riser as I can get it and still have it setup properly. The reason is simple, the throat of the grip is your pivot point (where hand torque comes from). If the rest is touching the arrow shaft directly above this pivot point or as close as you can get it, hand torque is reduced.

My old rest, an APA Twister Safari, did an outstanding job of putting me above this pivot point because of its design. My Whammy, as with almost every other rest out there, put it behind this pivot point. THe idea is to get it as close as you can.
