Default GOT IT FIXED!!!

But I had to rig it

After thinking about this mess for a few days, I came to my feeble conclusion that the rest had to stay up longer - over 3 inches. Can' t do this from the cable. Thats why Jamie from BowTech strings it on the cable slide. Off the slide it got better but I could not completely get rid of contact. I tied the bungy, but it it was to stretchy and would not even lift the rest.

Sooo.....I pulled out my trusty little spring I had used on my converted Mathews rest and rigged it to the cable. Adjusted it to come up at the last 4 inches of draw and PRESTO, PERFECT.

Still not sure if I am going to keep it, but at least I beat it

Thanks for all the help.

Done like a true Bowhunter, never give up!!!!!!! My thoughts also for the rest to support longer rather than less. I wondered about the return spring on the TT being able to out run the arrow I know my limb will always be ahead of the string with my rest
