I just got a new bow and it has a fall away rest on it. I have never had one of these. My questions are, What are the real advantages of one?? And shouldmy arrow be leaving any marks on it?? I noticethere are marks on the rest part of it, but the arrow doesn't touch this, could it be my fletching hitting it??? If it is how do I stop that??? Thanks for the help.

What rest is it ? What arrows and fletchings ? Most fall away rests require you to shoot cock vane straight up.

V8 rangers rock. I used to have one. An 86 too, 4wd. Always sorry I sold it.....

not sure of the make of the rest but I'm shooting carbons. I didn't think about turning the vain up. The V seams a little deep, will that matter? I love my 5.0HO Ranger. Mustang powered est 300hp

cock vane needs to be up... I would think that the names somewhere on the rest also. Its going to be some marks in the V part just from drawing etc. Advantages are supposed to be no fletching contact to slow or effect flight.

yea, just turn yournocks so the odd vane is straight up and try it. if you don't what kind of rest it is, maybe post a pic so we all can help you more.

Well you where right. I turned the odd vain up and no more marks. My grouping seamed to be better also. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Hmm...that rest looks like it could almost be a GWS Strike Force fall away. Glad you got it shooting better though.

after going back and looking its a, VA Hunter Fallaway arrow rest.
