Could the vanes be contacting the shelf? If you have little to no clearance between shelf and the prongs of your rest, is it possible that the prongs are not being allowed to drop all the way causing clearance issues?  :dunno: I had a similar issue and raised the rest and knocking point to match and the issue went away.  :twocents:

Thanks Rad and others.

The cord is attached below the grip even with the string stop and stabilizer.  I don't think anything has touched the cord upon release.

My draw length is 29-30" so I think that may be out as an issue as well.

I have raised the "football" up 3/16 of an inch  and the reference mark still passes the other line by a hair.  I will probably try to shoot later today but I'm feeling like crap as some flu thing seemed to hit me last night.  Hopefully this is the issue. 

Unfortunately it seems that the shelf on this bow is quite high as there is little to ne clearance between it and the rest prongs in the down position.

I have learned this is a rest that you want to precock as the arrows seem to fly quite differntly if you don't.  My wife has the ripcord and it works nicely, not sure why I didn't just get one like hers....

Sounds like that was the problem.  Just too hard into the wall.  Hopefully the rest is still ok.  If not, just send it back and they will take care of you for sure.  If you call ask for Kevin Fry (no relation).  He has been my go to guy for some time.  The young kids there can sometimes feel the need to fill your mind with too much minutia then forget what they were doing.

The lock down feature is a little strong for me.  So I find I like the down prongs to touch a pad on the riser.  Sort of my way of controlling the amount of "lock" in that feature.  So I'd say you are just fine there.  Bowtech's always shoot best when the arrow is very close to the hieght of the plunger hole so you should be good.

Once you get that cord at the right location you should not see any diffierence in flight or accuracy between shooting from cocked or down position.

Keep us updated once you get to feeling better.  Hope you get well soon.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Shot a bit this evening, seemed to be working better, also the impact point was the same for precocked launching and pull-up launching.  I might move the football up just a tiny bit more tomorrow to make sure I am more centered in the working zone.

Thanks again everyone.
