Title: Jaguar T/D, NAP flipper, centercut/centershot/tuning
Post by: FrankM on March 17, 2011, 02:07:00 PM
Hey guys, I have a Jaguar T/D that is 54# at 28" draw. I have a NAP flipper rest. I found that max left is (0"), which is centercut. max right is (– 3/16"), which is centershot.

I use Carbon Express Heritage 250, 31", point weight:  145 gr., 18 gr. insert, FOC 13.2 %
Dynamic  Spine 67.2, Total weight 529  gr.

In order to get max TPI I need to go up to about 680 grains. If I want to add weight to the front, I have to put the rest all the way left, but it's not far enough left for the new spine. The screw for the rest is a lot shorter than the original rest. I've done some calculations shortening my arrows down to 29" and can't have more than a 175 gr. point.

Do you think I should get a different rest? I really don't want to change arrows if I can avoid it.

I tried the NAP flipper rest for a while.

I did not like it and could never get it to shoot well on any of my bows.

So I bought the short plunger rest for a Dalaa from 3 Rivers, the T300 IIRC.

All bows shot much better with an adjustable weight plunger type rest with a flipper.

I ended up buying 4 of the Dalaa T300 rests and installing them on 4 different bows.

Yeah, I want to get a rest for hunting if there is a better one. But the main thing is getting arrows tuned. I like the way the original rest will hold an arrow.

The plunger type button, and arrow rest, for the Dalaa is very similar to the NAP thingie.

The Dalaa type rest with the plunger button is more 'forgiving' of shooting form errors.

Kinda like the shock absorbers in your car/truck making up for imperfect roads in an imperfect world.
