I've had a heck of a time getting my MZE to the point where I can actually shoot it. I've had to drill a 4th hole in the arm, grind my "Hoyt" plate and the stop plate, order a new cable slide and cut my turnbuckle sleeve down to a stub. The rest is finally level with the hand guard at rest and lifted quite high at full draw (I wasn't getting much movement either way before my alterations). My arrow is centered and level. I am even shooting perfect bullet holes during my paper tuning w/ & w/o vanes. The odd thing is my vanes are contacting the rest, which suprises me, because I wouldn't think I would be having the luck I am with the paper tuning. I've adjusted my nocking point up and down w/o any luck, and have even turned the rest down to expose less of it, however I still am making contact. I've rotated the arrow to position the cock up, down, and offset. I am wondering if my arrow spine is not the root cause. Perhaps the flex of the arrow coming off the sting is just catching the rest, but to the point where it isn't having a dire effect. I'd like to get your input, as I know quite a few of you folks use the MZE. My setup is a Hoyt Magnatech/Redline Cam, set at 68# w/ a 26" draw. My arrows are ICS 400 Camohunter's, 4" vanes (3ea), and 100 gr tip...overall length is 26.5".
