Default RE: Arrows falling off rest. Why?

Of course, the guys that use the containment rests like to say they use the rest to keep the arrow from falling off the rest while the bow is on the hanger.
Arthur.....that's me in a nutshell. I'm one of those guys who likes to reach for my bow without taking my eyes off the animal. (I don't want to be caught moving at the wrong time) And I'm generally like a bull in a china shop to begin with.
An arrow clanking to the ground or swinging off the shelf at game time is a real bummer.[&o]

That containment is also that little extra confidence at full draw........just knowing that it's probably going to take a squirrel attack to screw things up is a nice peice of mind. You just don't have to take your eyes off the target. With a prong rest you just can't help yourself but to look down for at least a second to make sure all is well. (If you say no then your lying)

I just want to be able to take my bow off the hook, draw and shoot without thinking about anything but "Pick a Spot".

I'm so paranoid about every concievable scenario and take so many pains to eliminate as many possible problems, that If my bow fails me at the moment of truth in any way.......it better be because of severe mechanical failure or I dropped the stupid thing out of the tree.[:-]

And no I don't shoot a Whisker Bisquit or Whisper Disc, or Wing Ding Ring or whatever........that would mean fletching contact and that I personally can't live with.
