So - my opinion, OP is right, and it's not intuitive: Rest movements are backwards posted in the post above. I've had other people disagree with this, and it's not that I doubt them, but I have yet to see anyone ever able to prove it by making small adjustments and posting results.
The way I think about it is this. When a bow is out of tune, the arrow and the powerstroke of the bow are not in alignment. You effectively want the powerstroke driving down the center of the arrow. You can either move the arrow (using the rest) or move the powerstroke (using yokes, shimming cams, flex guard)
My Notes:
Nock Right - Broadhead misses Left, Right Tear
Power stroke of the bow is to the left of the rest. You either need to move the power stroke to the right to align with the rest (via yokes, shimming cams, or adjusting your flex guard) or you need to move your rest to the left to align with the power stroke.
- Broadhead hitting left is the same as bareshafts hitting left or a tail right tear.
- Tighten Right Yoke
- Loosen Left Yoke
- Rest Left
- Shim Cam(s) to the Right
- Crank down flex guard for more sideways string pressure / more string clearance.
- Spine too Stiff (maybe)
