You have to give the rest an honest try!Run a couple hundred shots thru it to break it in and you shouldn't have any problem.I shoot carbons and the bisquit made for aluminums works better(bigger opening=less contact)but don't try to shoot anything bigger than a 22xx shaft size or it will rub on the entire arrow--unless they came out with one for bigger arrow shafts?I like mine and will keep using the bisquit until something better comes along.
