i am going 2 post the pics of the rest and loop on my site. should b dun in about 15 min. ill post a link. i think the rest is a tm but am not sure. the prongs face down instead of up. and no i do not guide the arrow with anything. i just let is sit on the rest and all of my fingers are about half open on the grip when i shoot. i also have ben making sure to be perfectly inline when drawing and it still comes off.
