the "Archer's Paradox" and meaning that the tail end will bend away (flexing) from the window and clear the rest before any contact by a vane can be made? Don't count on it.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Knowing you've gone back to traditional archery, let me just say my statements are in reference to compound bows. I've counted on it for 19 years and never had a problem with vane clearance, even on older bows that didn't have the centershot cut-out in the riser. I started w/ a berger button and Flipper II rest, and currently use a Centerest Plungerest.

Not just that, by the way. Slow motion video shows how a finger shot arrow actually jumps out away from the riser, slightly, as it bends.
