I'm just in the process of trying out an SF Elite Arrow rest. I've been using the Hoyt Super Plastic thingy and it works just fine but I like to try out other things just to gain experience in what works or doesn't and why.
Why the SF Elite rest - well its all the pocket money the wife would let me have this week
This question is about the adjustment of the SF Elite. According to the blurb on the web site and on the packet you can adjust this rest both vertically and horizontally. Now the vertical adjustment is pretty obvious but I can't see how you can adjust it horizontally - whatever that means - short of taking some pliers to it.
The supplementary question is what could they mean by horizontal adjustment. This could mean that the arm can be moved further in or out from the riser to allow for the arrow to just sit on the wire without any of it sticking outside the shaft. But it could equally mean allowing the wire to move back or forward, although I can't see what that would achieve unless it was angled upwards.
I have figured out a way to allow for adjusting the wire arm in or out with out cutting or bending. Cutting or bending is permanent and I use different arrow thicknesses. My trick is to place a small shim over the magnet which then pivots the wire arm enough to set it in the correct position. Different arrow, different thickness shim and the magnet is strong enough to still reset the arm
Just wondering if anyone else has this or a similar rest and what they do to allow for variable adjustment in both planes when there's only one screw.
