Spring tension in arrow hold down device ?

How much tension is there supposed to be in the arrow hold down arm?
The tension in mine seems to be extra strong and makes a pretty good
boing when it hits the rail.I know I can silence it with moleskin----but is it robbing me of any speed or performance? Lon.

I keep mine tight enough to hold the arrow when moving through the woods but loose enough it doesn't slap down on the rail, took a long time to get it "just right".
It has no effect on speed, the acceleration is done after the arrow leaves the confines of the hold down.

oh ok that would be the logical way but i thought by the way you guys were talking that there was an adjustment setting on it that i was missing
