Should Arrows level on rest?
With rest arm in activated position, level arrow from nock end and mark serving on each side of nock. This is your nocking point. (Note: Level to 1/6-inch high is perfect for release shooting; 1/8- to 3/8-inch high for fingers is generally best).
What side of the bow does the arrow sit?
left side
The arrow is normally placed on the left side of the bow for right handed archers and on the right side for left handed archers. The modern thought on the draw is to keep effort in the hand at a minimum. The only work the hand has to do is the effort required to keep the bowstring on the fingers.
Why is my fletching hitting drop away rest?
Fletchings Gone Wrong Shooting in extreme heat conditions can cause the bond to break and the fletchings to fall off. Hitting something hard with the arrow can knock the fletchings loose. Bad glue or poorly bonded fletching can be to blame if you suddenly notice your fletchings falling off.
Are drop away arrow rests better?
The big advantage of drop-away rests is that when they’re tuned right—and we’ll talk about that in a moment—no part of the arrow, or the arrow’s fletching, should touch the rest after it’s released.
Does the arrow go above or below the nock?
A nocked arrow should be positioned about a quarter inch above the arrow rest on the bow handle. On most bows, a small brass band called a “nocking point” is crimped onto the bowstring to mark the correct position.
Why do my arrows fly sideways?
If you put any sideways pressure on the string with your release aid (it is easy to do by drawing the bow too far so that your string elbow points too far behind you) this will also cause sideways string travel.
