When we set up a bow and initially perform a crude tune we are advised that we are to ensure there is no arrow
contact with any part of the bow during the shot and that even the slightest touch might affect the arrow flight.
What then do flipper rests do?
Does the rest get "flipped" out of the way by the arrow?
If not why is it hinged?
I understand that some (few?) archers reverse the magnets so that the arm retracts upon release.
Some rests are fixed and are being used successfully (Hoyt, Beiter, etc).
Is a "moving arm" rest required or not?
I understand that a poor shot may need some forgivness, but ultimately we strive not to produce poor shots.
Are flipper rest then for archers who produce poor shots?
Guidance please.
