Well I shot my new bow again tonight just to make sure it was still shooting good through paper. And tonight its back to throwin the arows nock high again. I am shooting Carbon Impacts 6500, 63 lbs. bow. 28 inch draw. I and using a bodoodle type rest with 2 arms that hold the arrow, also using a string loop. I have no idea what the problem is. I shoot the carbons and they are nock high, I shoot my old aluminum 2114's and they are perfect, but I dont wanna use my aluminum arrows anymore I want to shoot the carbons. Ive tried movin my nocking point down and up and even starting over with it and I can't get a good hole. Ive tried lossening and tightening the spring on my rest and that doesnt help. Could anyone give me some advice on what to do? Should I try a different rest maybe?. Ive run out of ideas.

Fletching contact?

timberjack82

nope that was fine too.

There is a reason to your madness. Your carbons are smaller in diameter then the aluminums, therefore they set further down in the rest, making the nock high. Are you shooting cock vane down? The vane might be hitting the bottom of the rest. Look for color on the rest, or waves in the down vane. Just a thought

Yes I am shooting cock vane down, but there is no contact. The vanes arent wavy and there is no color on the rest. I was getting really pi$$ed off with it.

Put tension all the way up on the rest. as stiff as she goes

Ok Ill try it tomorrow, I aint gonna shoot anymore tonight. Ill try that tomorrow and see how it goes and let ya know. Any more help would be appreciated.

Sorry losen the tension. Good old Lerry Wise said so.

If I loosen my spring all the way up the rest lays against the riser.

At 28 inches that would be a pretty stiff arrow.

I believe they may be to stiff for only 63 pounds. The 6500 at 28 inches is recommened for 73 - 91 pound draw weight.

Try to test fire a 6000 and see how that goes.
