Some people are telling me that if I switch from feathers to vanes, I'll have a clearance problem getting through my little two-dollar plastic flipper rest -- that I would need to go to something like a dual-magnet rest system. Seems like it is getting kinda complicated. For those traditional archers shooting vanes -- what kind of rest do you use?

I would like to comment in general and not as a specific traditional archer.
High speed films show that on release from a recurve bow the arrow lifts off and to the side of the arrow rest so it really doesn't matter what type of rest you have. One of the better FITA archers in the world used a simple nail protruding from his bow with no ill effect. With this in mind, it is irrelevant what type of vanes you use as long as you have properly spined arrows.

I believe that when McKinney won all the championships in the 80's he used a simple Hoyt stick-on rest. Can't tell you tho whether he used feathers or vanes.
