Fall away rest question
#1

I just got my new bow today and was shooting to get it sighted in and familiar with how it shoots. I have never had a bow with a fall away rest and I noticed it is leaving slight rub marks on the rest. Now the arrow its self does not touch this but it leaving marks. Is this from the fletching? and is this normal?? if not how do I stop this?? The arrows seam to be flying ok.

Not sure what you mean. The arrow does touch the rest as you draw back, and drags across it. Upon release the arrow does not touch the rest. It should drop away in the first 2 inches.

when the rest is down the arrow sits in the small valley and when its pulled back then the arrow sits in the middle of the fork. But the marks are being put on the down position part of the rest but really the arrow doesn't sit where the marks are be made. If my fletching was hitting the rest I would think it would make the arrow fly very funky. I don't know how else to explain my problem if its a problem at all

Put the odd colored vane up. This makes the two similar colored vanes point at a 45 degree down position. Should fix it. Same thing as mentioned above just different wording. You must be shooting odd colored vane down.

I disagree with this. I want my arrow to ride on the rest as long as possible. I want it to drop just before the fletching gets to it. The longerthe arrowis on the rest the longer it will be guided by the rest. I believe this will result in better accuracy and consistancy.
