Mt lion hide, hair on, from the top of the paw. Hair needs to lay to the back of the bow.

Lurp Dog,  Heal fast and good luck with the shoulder!  I lucked out and got a small grocery bag full of cowhide scraps from a taxidermist for free.  I made "one piece" shelf rest/side plate arrow rests for our bows.  Hair laying forwards of course, very nice.  2 part epoxy glue on.  Cheers
