I agree w/ Paul.
Your timing and/or the launcher height needs to be adjusted.
I'm thinking to time a quicker fall and raise the launchers a little at a time. I'd start w/ the timing.
When you draw, the launcher should pick up the arrow about2-3 inches from the tip. That should give adequate clearence.
If you're timing is correct then go to launcher height AND turn your nocks just a hair away from the direction of theside where the vane is contacting it.

Some dropaway rests work fine with aluminum arrows,but they don't drop fast enough when shooting carbons.I solved all my problems by getting a Muzzy Zero Effect for my 03 legacy and I will never use anything else again,they are driven down by a rigid adjustable arm and have a huge arrow resting prong so you can shoot any diameter arrow you like, and i've never had any fletching hit, and quite honestly I don't think they ever could.

You can have contact issues with muzzy rests if they are not set up correctly, I have delt with it before. I think the Muzzy offers more control for timing issues though. You also have to get the right model for your bow.

It used to be they didn't work very well on bows that didn't have much cable guard travel, now they have a quicker acting model for those bows.

I have tried a few drop a ways and I personally like the muzzy the best.

At what part of the draw, do the prongs come up. If they come up to early they stay up longer and that might be your problem. I think i set mine to come up about the last 5to6in of draw. Hope this helps. Rich

I think the problem is the rest is to close to the shelf.If the prongs are sitting to far up on the shelf the block will be at to much of an angle making it higher than the shelf not providingadequet clearence.The proplem with the 2000 is the mounting arm is to short for BT's.To fix this i used to use the mounting arm from the older nap 1000 it was longer and allowed the block to lay flat with the prongs just touching the shelf this would provide enuff clearence.

If you can post a pic i will tell you for sure!

Are your Blazers hitting like this?



I had the same problem and could not get it to go away. I switched rests and the problem was solved.

That's a launcher height problem.
The angle needs to be moved up AND the arrow rotated to the right for clearence.
The charactistic of blazer's is the quick rotation once they leave the string.
It may appear the cock vane being straight down will give clearence , but won't due to rotation.
It may also be that your nock was low.

If you shoot cock vane down you might want to get some smaller vanes, bohning makes a great low profile vane in 4 inch and blazers.
