The fixation on centering the arrow on the berger button hole dates back to the use of the pressure button.
The arrow shaft had to be centered on the button for proper flight..
So unless you have a button on your bow, this is no longer necessary, and it is more important to center the line of pull behind the arrow, than the shaft on a hole which no longer has an effect on arrow flight.
This can be done by observing the loop as you are shooting.. the > of the loop should be directly behind the arrow for best results.
If it, (the loop), is deformed, then your D-loop is not in the “center of the pulling area” and thus, your nock travel is being thrown off, along with the stability of the arrow, and your holding ability!
If the D-loop is angled up from center, move the loop down slightly (not much) on the string.
Shoot several more arrows and this time, also pay attention to the holding qualities of the site picture and what the loop looks like after each shot (don’t touch the loop to ‘re-form” it).
Repeat the process until that D-loop is not deformed after the shot or even a let down. Now, once the D-loop is not being deformed in the shot process.
I got this from Mike "javi" Cooper off a site he is on.
My bows never seemed to tune across the berger hole, and now I know why.
In my own words, what he is saying is to find the center of pull first, then adjust your rest to it accordingly. Great advice, I have all my bows tuned that way now, and it works.
