This will give you set up tips for various rests that Paul (the creator) has tested.
Let me know what you think. I love mine, exceot when I shoot groups and break them. Spent a few minutes today super gluing a few together and shooting them. Still fly true.

I use the QAD. Just about any of the popular fall aways work. I know guys using Muzzy Zero, Trohy taker, Trophy ridge, Ripcord, NAP Scizzor, and Limbdriver to name a few.

Anytime. Most of my arrows are at 28" and 3 are at 27", so we should be good. As long as I have not broken them all by then. FOBs hate groups, but I like shooting them.
yeah thats my concern. i love shooting groups. but i guess i can get the block out and setup 5 little bullseyes

he needs to get on here and chime in...I am here, and I can and will assist you. As far as Dropaway/down rests go, as previously stated by
DeKuma, there are many that will work. How they are set up and adjusted can make a difference however. Arrows are important also as FOBs only fit 2 sizes of arrows or knock fittings. Where are you located Bankwalker? If you are reasonably close to Lacey, we could hook up and check out your setup.
Off the subject of FOBS for a second.... I highly recommend Winner's Choice Strings, and yes they come in cool colors too. They are all pre-stretched and will perform as new forever. No stretching, no re-adjusting, etc.
Give me a jingle if you need/want FOB help.. Al @360-451-7784

Along with set-up, the nock point is critical for clearance. I had to set mine on the new bow by trial and error. Also, tying your rest string to the downward bus cable so it drops fastest. That part seemed easier then getting the nock set.

You also need to use a "D" loop or the string will pinch the FOB. I use string levels and a laser alignment tool to adjust and setup knock height and squareness to string.Oh Sure! Do it the easy way! :chuckle:
Supposed to meet up with Bankwalker in the near future and see how he likes the FOBs. I have someon my arrows, but do not have any spares left. Should get an order in to Paul soon..........

I have the spares for demo and also a couple of dozen for sale but you are going the opposite way from me.

Is it cheaper to go through you for them than to go to Starrflight directly? I mean the shipping charges should be less, right?
If I shipped them to you it would approx. the same cost. If we meet somewhere I won't charge you shipping or handling. But they will still be $19.95 a dozen. If you make it to the meet, I will have some there.
