New archer with the fire

[sagebrush]

Hi All, I have a nephew that is all fired up about archery. I gave him a bow and made a string for it and an old longbow he already had. He is really excited. It's fun when the fire is so bright. I need to make him an elevated rest for the one bow. It is an old recurve with a flat shelf. I remember reading about home made ones out of plastic on here but I can't remember what they were being made out of. Does this ring a bell with anybody? I thought I would teach him how to make as much stuff as possible himself because he doesn't have a lot of money and I think it is more enjoyable to make your own equipment. Maybe I should go check the how-to section also. Anyway, it looks like I have an up and coming archer to mentor.

Good Deal! It's a Great thing to watch them grow to enjoy the simple things in life.

The arrow rests were made out of old plastic display racks that hold bags, batterys on cards and other things, I think it was George Stout that was making them. maybe he still has some pics

That was it Mac. I just couldn't remember what plastic was working. I'm sure there are some other things that would work also.

You might try a small piece of leather glued to the shelf just above the deepest part of the grip. Maybe 1/4"Wide X 3/8" Long, and 1/8" or so thick. Cheap and effective.
