Long Bow Arrow Rest
« on: June 28, 2011, 03:31:00 PM »
Can anybody offer any assistance regarding the location and type of arrow rest for a long bow. I have no arrow rest and would not want to make holes in the bow.

BF,  Do you have a leather wrapped handle?  If so, fashion a leather wedge about a 1/4 to 1/2 Inch wide at the top and tapering down to nothing and slip it under the leather grip so it sits just above your bow hand index finger.  If no leather grip, you can just use Barge cement (contact type glue) and place it where you need it.  No holes necessary.

PS,  You'll get a better response on the Pow Wow or Bow builders forums.
