So I am about ready to give up on elevated rests. A couple of days ago I picked up my first ilf bow with hopes of setting it up with and elevated rest. Got it even tillered and brace height set, slapped on a bear weather rest and got to tuning.
And for some reason I could not get rid of nock high bareshafts and fletched shaft. Nock height went from 0-1”.Tiller went from 3/8 positive to 3/8 negative. With the adjustability of an ilf I thought I really could make it work. I even tried out the wengerd fish rest and same results. I have had similar results with other non ilf bows in the past.
So I pulled of the rest and stuck some velcro on the shelf, reset nock height, even tiller and immediately got perfect bareshafts out to 30 yards.
Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong. Thought it would be nice to have a bow set up for vanes, but maybe I shouldn’t fight it and stick to the devil I know.
