Jr, if you are normally 5/8" above the shelf when you are shooting off the shelf, try 3/4" above the shelf when shooting off of a feather rest.
Even though the feather rest is 1/4" to 3/8" tall, your nock doesn't have to be that high.
Hope that makes sense, Trap

Trap, Thanks for the advice, I'll try 3/4" when I get the Kodiak. I ordered a few from you last year but have not installed as of yet. I switched to lefty due to shoulder issues and cannot presently shoot my rightys so they just sit on the rack. Thanks again, Jim

I have shot lots of bows with the 3 Rivers Feather rests. I found that if you shoot split with a narrow heavy shafts like a 1918 or a thin carbon with a weight tube you cna get by with it nearly paralel. If you shoot a moderate weight fatter cedar it should come up to about an eighth inch. the narrow heavy shafts tend to sink into the feather rest a bit. I wish someone could talk my wife into how much i need that '59 kodiak.

I've got a Bear Grayling Green 60" Super Kodiak. I had to do a little tuning on the bow but it is definitely a shooter. Very sturdy and reliable. I use it when I go pig hunting down south as it takes a beating. Not as sweet as my Bob Lee but it didn't cost near as much either. It's 50# at 28" and 55# at my draw length (30"). I think I'd go with the 64" bow if I had to do it over again.

Thanks for the info Trap. I really wasn't sure which way to go with the feather rest.

I like Trap find with a feather rest I need a bit higher nocking point, now with an elevated Bear weather rest I shoot with the nock point at only 3/8ths of an inch. I got to shoot one of the new ones yesterday and it shot very nice, I would still rather buy an old one or a copy like Big River than the new ones. Shawn

I love this place. It would have been so much easier in the early years if I would have had this great resource of knowledge to draw from. Once again thanks everyone.
