Arrow falling off rest ?
I replaced my original arrow rest with a two prong type. I installed it according to the instructions and changed my nock point. Now when I draw, the arrow keeps falling off the rest. I have tried ajusting the rest but the same thing happens. I am using my fingers to release.
Besides buying a whisker bisket, anyone have any advise?

RE: Arrow falling off rest ?
Most likely you are twisting the string in your fingers on your draw. If you're right handed, you're probably rolling the string slightly to the right when you pull the string.
Try to keep the string as still as possible on your draw....not spinning it at all.

Try a sight with a bubble level attached. You might be turning the bow enough during the draw to allow gravity and friction to pull the arrow off the prongs. The bubble level will show you just how level you are drawing/shooting. Just my 2 cents

also, is your arrow resting on the very tips of the prongs or a little lower???
What I mean is, do you have the rest adjusted so that the most surface area is on the arrow or just the tips?
