Sorry to hear of your frustration. I have some suggestions for you to look at. First I only use that type of rest for a Muzzy fishing arrow with no fletchings.

If I was getting a new bow set up I would look at three types of rest, depending on you style of shooting.

For a flipper style rest GKF Speed Set
For a containment rest GKF Shootout
For a drop away rest GKF TKO

All are great quaility products with life time guarantees. If you visit www.goldenkeyarchery.com you can see pictures of each rest. To see the TKO make sure you dont have a pop up blocker on. TKO and Shootout can be set up for Left or Right hand shooters. If you have questions about any of them let me know. You also can email me if needed [email protected]
