RE: spring tension
The rule of thumb I' ve always gone by is heavy enough to hold the arrow up, but not so heavy that, when you push the arrow down and let go, that the prongs will come back up hard enough to bounce the arrow off the rest.
If you go too light, the weight of the arrow will cause the prongs to droop down. There is a school of thought that sets the tension light enough for the prongs to droop, but raise up as the arrow is drawn. I' ve always gotten groups that string out vertically when I' ve tried it.
