Who uses an elevated rest?

im with danny thinking about trying one but dont know how to set one up

I shoot with elevated rest that came with my Super Necedah.  It's just a piece of plastic glued to the shelf.  I just made a hybrid longbow where I copied the Super Necedah riser as much as possible.  I did, however, make the shelf extra thick so that the distance from my hand to the shelf is the same as the distance from my hand to the rest on the Super.  The reason for this is because I've run into shoots where they don't consider the Super N to be "traditional" because I don't shoot off the shelf.  Now, I can shoot the longbow and it's virtually the same.

I, too, use a Cavalier T300 flipper and a short plunger on my DAS Gen II. And it gives me incredibly clean arrow flight, as well.

I don't know if you could call mine a raised rest but I use a piece sliced from the edge a round cork about 1/8" thick. I stick it down with barge cement and put a piece of velcro rug over it the length of the self. This one way to put a radiused shelf on a flat shelf. I get perfect arrow flight from this self. Jim

I've used the Hoyt Hunter rest for over 20 years, I've never had one come off through rain or shine. Eventually they wear out from a groove getting cut where the arrow passes.  I like to have a new rest with the groove already started good when the season starts.  

Good Luck,

I take a piece of broken wood arrow shaft split it with the grain.  I sand it a little so the semicircle is flat and leaves about a ¼ inch in height. I cut the piece so that it is a little longer than the width of my arrow shaft (about ½ the width of my shelf). I then simply tease up the Velcro (or leather) shelf material and slide the piece of wood under so that my ¼ elevation is directly above deepest part of the grip on the recurve riser. Glue in with barge cement. I then take scalpel and cut a slit in the Velcro close to the end of the wood piece and then push the slack Velcro back down and glue it. So basically I am left with a ¼ inch elevated rest the width of my arrow shaft covered with the same material as the self, which allows a little better clearance for 4 fletch and better clearance wearing a heavy insulated glove during cold weather. The esthetics of the bow are not changed that much.

Where do I find these Weatherrests (who makes them)?
