Thick rug rest material

Where can someone buy the THICK stick-on rug rest material?  The rug rest material from 3 Rivers is not very thick.

Wal-Mart, industrial velcro. I have had the same rest on my bow for 5 years and thousands upon thousands of shots! Shawn

Wool from buffing pads....mount with 3M double stick tape.....trim to thickness needed with scissors....makes a very tough, quiet, durable, rest. I personally hate the velcro rests......
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

Shaved down beaver fur makes an awesome rest.  Available in the sponsor's classified section

The industrial velcro also come in grey which is nice for guys who have bows that are camo dipped as well. I agree with Jeremy and the other posts as well, but unless you want to actually build up the rest they are too thick for me, except for the real bear hair, never tried that. Shawn

The gray velcro seems to hold up better for some reason....but I have used the felt stick on pads all so. The nice thing about the velcro is you can cut a few out and put them in a zip lock bag throw it in your pack and have a new rest in 2 minutes. At 10 thousand feet on an elk or sheep hunt that is priceless!!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
