Default 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?

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.

I'd get yourself a release if I were you.

How dose it fall off the rest? Can you widen the space between the two prongs to keep it on or is it actually "lifting" off the rest?

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?

Thats not a finger rest.......

You need a plunger style or flipper style rest for fingers........

Ask Arthur..............he has about 100 spare flippers in his box..........

Pull the string from under the arrow till you reach full draw. This keeps the arrow down on the rest.

Rack is right,

Either get a different rest that's designed for fingers OR get a release.
