Default Muzzy "Negative" Effect

I am just about certain I am one of those very few that will be ubable to use the MZE. I shoot a Hoyt Magnatech and I have a 26" draw. Three weeks ago I received my MZE. Two weeks ago I received the Hoyt plate. This week I received the aftermarket cable guard and another Turnbuckle arm. As I previously stated in another post I had to trick my bow to get the turnbuckle arm to line up with the cable slide. There were some other problems as well. I called and spoke to Eric at Muzzy and he said he would be able to fix my problems. I am somehow not a believer of that anymore. Here are my two biggest problems, starting from the most extreme to the least. 1) There is no perfect medium for the length of my turnbuckle sleeve. It is either too long and I can't get the rest to clear the speed guard shelf at full draw, or it is too small and I can't get the rest to drop below the speed guard shelf at rest which inevitably comes in contact with my vanes. Mind you, I have one sleeve that is literally a stub and it the stop plate screw still does not come in contact with the stop plate. I now have "2" turnbuckle sleeves, one long one short...there is no perfect medium. 2) Which hole do I mount the stud? If I use the the one farthest from the string I can't position the stop plate correctly as it comes in contact with the riser. If I use the hole nearest the string the turnbuckle arm comes in contact with the cable slide mount, and I therefore have to use a spacer between the stud and the turnbuckle arm.

Last night after investing six hours into the rest (once again) I took it off the bow and put my old one back on. I am ready to start shooting again. There is no doubt in my mind the MZE is not a great rest, I just think I am one of the few who are unable to use it.
