stay away from the new mathews down force rest it has super fast drop to compensate for the new super fast bows that mathews has came out with but the arrow wants to jump off the prongs mid way trough draw cycle tried it on several mathews bows and all had the same outcome it is a good looking rest with a harmonic damper built in on the side not quite knocking it just looking out for the fellow blood brothers

Slow down your draw..... shouldn't be have having any problems with a single cam bow, you may have the string to short.

Dual cam bows are famous for it you just have to slow down and have the excate string length or just get a vapor trail limbdriver

had problems with mine after going from a nano, to a ics hunter arrow. The problem wasnt the rest but with the loop being too tight. Opened up the loop just a little and the problem went away immediately.

Bowhunting Magazine TV show had a piece on this problem. According to Randy Ulmer you can correct this two different ways. Shot with your release on the string under the nock or if you shot with a loop adjust the bottom of the loop down with enough serving string to keep the nock at the top of the loop. This changes the pull on the loop above the mid point of the loop. Both ways will create down pressure enough to keep the arrow on the rest. I don't shot with a loop but thought this was good info if and when I decide to change. Good luck with it. Let us know if it works for you.
