Drop Zone Problem
I was doing some paper tuning today and noticed that my rest will not stay attached firmly to the riser. Even with the bolt tightened as tight as I could get it, it will still come loose with a little bit of pressure on the rest. The threads are not stripped so I cannot figure out what would be causing this. Any thoughts?

use some spray adhesive to the back of the rest mounting bracket and use a use some spray adhesive to the back of the rest mounting bracket.
It should have an extra spot for a set screw. Tighten it down so it bites into your riser. You should be fine.

RE: Drop Zone Problem
Thanks buckeye,
The two sets of holes on the rest do not line up perfectly with the holes on the riser. I would have to drill out one of the holes on the rest and use a washer to make it work. Should this be necessary with a $100 rest? It is only 6 months old. The only thing I can think of is that it would have done this all along if I put enough pressure on it to make it move. Does anyone else have to use 2 set screws to make this rest work?

RE: Drop Zone Problem
Try the washer underneath the cap of the mounting bolt, and also try using a VERY thin piece of rubber under the arm.
BTW also make sure the mounting arm is not bent.
I'm surprised TR decided not to utilize a set screw of some sort..thats just silly..however it's typical IME for TR products...the sights are notorious for coming loose all the time.
If that doesn't work, I'd find a new rest.

RE: Drop Zone Problem
Your DZ should have come with a set screw to prevent this? Do you have a set screw or could it have been possibly lost?? There is no reason the entire rest body should be moving against your riser? [&:]
