I set it up originally with the nock about 1/8" above square. I did move the rest downward until it looked to be way nock high. Still had contact. I followed the directions on the package. It was coming up to the drop away position maybe 1 1/4" before full draw. I e-mailed the company to see if there was any tension adjustment on the rest, but got no reply so far. In looking at the rest, I don't see any way to take it apart anyway. Looks like it was glued together.[&:] I have some 1/8" aluminum that I could make a launcher out of. I would make it much like the original, but without the long arms that extend upward. I know it wouldn't be a full containment setup then, but it still would be pretty tough for the arrow to fall off and it would give me the clearance I got the rest for in the first place. I don't really understand it, since most of you that have used it have had no problems like I had.
