Shelf Material ?

Calf hair for me. It's the slickest since the seal skin is no longer available.

I use leather or a rug.  I like leather pretty good.

I use calf skin and seal skin. My longbow, custom made in Estonia, came with sealskin on the shelf. They probably still hunting seals there.

 

I'm loking for a good matching sideplate material now.

I like the bear archery rug shelf kit, its lasted the longest for me and looks good too.

I used to use Velcro but have switched to smooth leather.

there is no "best" shelf material, only the stuff that works "best" for you.  lots of good stuff to try out, i usually do female velcro for the shelf bottom and super thin leather for the shelf arrow plate.

I have some kangaroo, that I will try, but still have some seal skin I bought years ago.
