I've just got a new riser (well new to me), and it has two holes where the button could go. I'm only used to one, having just put my beloved Alpha-Ex back in it's box. The riser came with a spigarelli zero tolerance rest, which I have hitched up on the nearest hole to me, as my arrows are the right length for the button in the furthest hole, ie just above the throat of the grip.
Now, it has occurred to me that if I use the button in the nearest hole, the rest will be much more firmly fixed to the bow in the other hole(being a puny girlie I have trouble getting it on tight enough so it can move a little if the button isn't in, I have to check it when I put my bow up, as this affects the height the arrows sit at next to the button), and I can get some new, shorter, therefore thinner and lighter arrows for outdoors.
But, will this be illegal for GNAS/FITA rules target archery, and will it mess up the feel of the bow because I am used to the button being at the throat of the grip? I went to the Western Region Fita at Craigie last weekend (had a lovely time, thanks to everyone at Ayr Club, apart from someone knocking my kit over and bending my centralizer thread - ?9.70 for a new one) and tried to see if anyone else did this, and couldn't spot anyone doing it this way round. GNAS rules on the website are not very helpful. I want to get some Cartel Triples, they'll be around 3cm shorter, but obviously don't want to spend the money if I can't use them!
Thanks in advance, I always appreciate your help,
Cherry
