I agree with ewolf on this. I never move my rest. I play with different spined arrows, point weight, but mostly bow weight to get my shafts going straight. I start at about 6' and move back little by little adjusting as necessary along the way.

And here's some poop to digest. It's not impossible but very hard many times to geta single cam bow to bare shaft properly because of several factors. One is that many have a certain amount of cam-lean. Two, they all have the string angles across the bow from bottom to top, with the string off center at the bottom. All this causes some sideways oscillation of the string.

If you do try it here is another tip. Your arrows hitting left or right is mostly just the opposite indication as for finger shooters. I've found that stiff arrows most often will plane to the right and limber arrows to the left.

There is another glitch to this method while using carbon arrows. Most often carbon arrows do not have concentric spine (if this is the right term). In other words they are stiffer on one side than the other. I found this out by reading about it then trying it. I used a bare shaft and shot it at 20 yards. It planed about 4" to the right. I nocked that arrow again, this time 180 degrees opposite of the first time and it planed left about the same amount. Now what to do? Just shows what junk we tend to shoot no matter how much we spend or how hard we try.

And to accomplish bare shafting at longer distances, like anything over 30 yards you better have some awfully consistent form to get consistent results. That can be a benefit. It forces you to shoot form. And get consistent at it.

Now I do have to admit that it is fairly easy for me as that's how we did things 30 years ago so I learned it back then. The other is that I am shooting a bow that is dual cam, and everything has been laser aligned at rest and at full draw and the cams and string are dead center on the bow.
