Problem converting from drop away to target blade rest.

Replaced my QAD HDX rest with the Spot Hogg Edge rest.
My carbon Hexx arrows weigh in at 360 - 380 grains so I'm using the recommended .010 blade. Really like the Edge but at times I'm finding when drawing, the arrow flips of the top of the rest. Usually to the right. I just noticed the blade engages the Easton Hexx mid shaft wrap. Would this be causing it? Maybe its my "D" loop? Maybe its just me?

Common issue with blade rests...I don't use one but the guys that do who are excellent archers still have them pop off while drawing.

Usually it's the D loop pinching

Anyone use a "P" loop below the nock? Seems it may alleviate the problem.

Space D loop 5/16 with good loop pliers so loop doesnt creep..eliminate loop pinch first.

A tied on nock point, below the nock, inside of the d-loop will add down pressure on the arrow and keep it from rising up during the draw cycle.

Got Mike at North Pro Sports to build me a torqueless P-loop. What a difference - I cant believe it. To boot, I contacted Lancaster Archery. I have an Edge rest with fixed blades. Since most all blades were initially designed for the thinner target arrows I ordered the "Best" with a wide "V" notch for this rest. Guess now, I'll have no excuse for a bad shot.
