I thought I should add this "note"....

I shot a small game Judo, at a leaf, for practice this evening. I noticed right away that my string was touching the hand rail on my Summit Viper and I had to lean forward quite a bit to avoid it. I use a stringwalking method and a near vertical bow position, when shooting on the ground. However, if I cant my bow quite a bit, I can avoid any contact and this does not seem to affect my accuracy.

I’ll have to try that. I shoot vertical and shooting out of my Summit string contact with the rail was a problem. I use Thirdhand stabilizer straps that secures the stand so I could lean out with my harness tight.
I have moved to a hang on for Trad hunting for that reason. Leaning out that much seems and surely feels too dicey for me.

I just came in from shooting my recurve, at extreme cant angles and it's the same for me as it is shooting nearly vertical. While kneeling on the ground or standing up and holding my bow's top limb at 2 o'clock or more, everything remains the same for my string walking positions. I have about an inch and a quarter of gap from my arrow nock down to my hold for 10 yards and it is not effected by canting the bow. 💯 A confidence builder for when the shot presents itself.

Are you shooting off the shelf?

 

[Tracker1]

Yes, sir. ....on both bows.

I’m not sure that would work with my flipper rest.

I shot off the shelf for a while but wanted less interference to my arrow and went with a NAP Centerrest flipper. It’s bombproof, nothing can really happen to it. My groups immediately shrank and more consistent. Also I sure helped quieting the shot. Using a flipper also allowed me to shoot vanes which are not effected by rain or snow. I will have to see what canting the bow does.

 

[Tracker1]

Which NAP "flipper" are you referring to?
Centerest Flipper or the Flipper Rest ll?

Center rest.

@redfin and @Tracker1
Do you guys see more accuracy with the Centerest vs a rug rest?

I'm pretty happy with the accuracy this bow is producing with the rug rest, at the moment. I don't have a problem shooting 3" target dots at 20 yards with my current setup. If it shot better, I'd be more impressed than I already am with the way it is currently shooting.

If you are grouping inside of a three inch circle at 20 yards with no sights that’s about as good as it gets in my opinion.
What I get with the Centerrest flipper is consistency, plus I can shoot vanes. Contact between the arrow is minimized.
But if your getting 3” groups I wouldn’t touch anything.

I hunt from a treestand I need the most forgiving set up as possible, I will be shooting from odd angles.
I notice with a flipper because of the minimal arrow contact the arrow is less effected by the grip also.
