Mine didn't come with instructions, just a parts illustration. It can be tricky to set up but I don't think instructions would help

 

OK, this enlarged drawing will help me, though. Thanks.

 

I've tried youtube, not a single vid about setting up a magnetic rest of any kind that I can find.

 

I found the arm tightening screw to allow the most movement in setting up the arrow rest so that might be a first stop - M

 

I found some instructions online last year and saved them (I had the same problem). They're on my computer at home, I'll post them after work.

 

Don't mess with the magnet. You have to roughly set arm height and distance out at the same time. You can tweak the wire slightly as needed. Don't over tighten any screws. Don't over tighten any screws. Don't over tighten any screws. Don't over tighten any screws.
You have been warned. Lol I haven't had a problem, but read that enough to prevent it. You want the plunger to go through center of arrow. Some say slightly above or below center to encourage the tip to turn now and again to prevent wear in same area. The one set screw in the aluminum barrel is all you need to adjust initially.

 

These are the instructions I found a few years back:

1. leave the two silver pinch bolts alone- theyre only useful if you want a rigid arm that never moves- seal them with a dab of fletchtite so they wont loosen and go missing

2. add the rest to the bow- secure with the threaded plug and button

3.loosen the nut on top a quarter turn and loosen the remaining allen heads by a 1/4 turn

4. using firm thumb pressure and a fingernail to hold the magneticicitity bolt in onto its stopper- drag push squeeze the thing into the right shape- it's still being lightly held by the loosenned bolts.

5. 'select the amount of magneticicitity you desire - ideally as light as possible that anything catching the arm on release knocks it cleanly out of the way without having too much effect on the arrow...but still enough magneticicitity to pull the arm back out afterwards- by adjustic the stopper-screw on top.

6. cut off the hook-nock an arrow- and squeeze in the arm till it's right

7. pull or push the arm to the desired height

8. tighten the two bolts and securing nut at the top- dab the top nut with fletchtite

 

Be REALLY careful about tightening the set screw into the aluminum nut, they strip very easily. Recommend some blue locktite rather than really torquing it down.

Thanks, that was pretty detailed. I just kind of sussed it out, but kind of wish I'd gotten the free flyte or the shibuya now. I'm surprised how little info there is on how to properly set this stuff up, and how poor the instructions are on most of this stuff. I guess they assume some Oly coach will show you how.

 

I am wondering if one of the stick on rests with the plunger hole wouldn't work just fine for what I'm going to do with it.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I'm going to buy the SpigZT and I'm wondering if I can use the plunger/plunger hole to secure the rest. I have a Win & Win Black Wolf riser that only comes with one hole tapped. And that meaning only one hole period. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Pathfinder
Good double sided tape to the back of the rest works great for single hole risers and a plunger.
Worked for me many years hunting and target shooting.

If one does not know what they are doing,is it not best to seek advice from someone at their club that does,or an archery shop? How can we help from this site?

 

Easy once you understand what to do.

 

If I’m understanding the question right, there’s nothing wrong with using a plunger to mount wrap-around rests like the ZT or Free Flyte. Just make sure you have a long enough plunger.
