My take = fallaway rests when setup properly eliminate fletching contact issues , they may allso make your bow MORE critical of spine and not LESS as they offer less suport to the arrow . This issue allso makes them More critical of nock travel . As far as brace height goes , a short brace bow is a short brace bow and , a long brace bow is a long brace bow . I belive you will be more accurate with a long brace bow [especialy if you have a longer draw length] with a prong type rest [without serious fletch contact] than you will be with a short brace bow with a fallaway . I believe it has more to do with the geometry of where the arrow is in relation to the pivot point of bowhand and grip at the time the arrow leaves the string, than the duration of time the arrow is on the string .
Thanks ijimmy. I hadn't really thought about the situations you can get into while in a tree stand. You are correct though, very rarely have I been able to stand up and have perfect form while in the tree stand. All I had were grand visions of having a bow that would get me 300 fps with my hunting arrows and brace height not really playing into the picture. So what is your opinion on say a 7" brace height bow and a fall away rest? Also in relation to your comment on nock travel, do you know much about the nock travel on Bowtech single cam bows?
