You sure are having a lot of troubles with that rest. Now, if you would have bought a Hoyt, you wouldn't be here right now. Just kidding.

I would be really interested to see that video once you get it done. I slightly remember a picture of your setup and it seems to me you had the cord tied in about the rest on the cable. Did you change that at one point in time?

I had problems when I set mine up, but it was "user error" . It sure is a sweet shooting rest and I am partial to mine now. I hope you get it fixed up.
