Elevated rest on Silvertip

[Lee Viv]

shoot a bear weatherrest off mine....vanes or feathers fly great..shooting CX Heritage 150's, 28", 300grains up front...

no problem with rest falling off..in fact, when i want to change to a new one I have a heck of a time getting the old one off!

for the guys that are shooting rests, did you have your bow tillered for it?

[YORNOC]

I did on two, and still have one tillered off the shelf that I shoot a rest with.

This one was sooo deadly accurate. It was tillered for a rest, and I used a stick on Hoyt Pro rest on it. Got so many critters with that bow, cant believe I sold it. Desperately needed the dough at the time, but I should have sold one of my kidneys instead.

I will try A rest on the tip I have but it will have to wait till spring. Im currently shooting a winter indoor leauge and my team is in first place. I dont want to get all experimentall untill leauges over.

I use one of Traps feather rests-works great!

Alright, I couldnt stand it anymore and ordered some stickon rests and sheets of moleskin. I set my bow up with the elevated rest and moleskin over the whole  shelf area as shown in Mike Walkers post above. I talked to Dave and he said thats how he does it so. It took some experimnenting and I was doing it outside in blizzard conditions but alas things are good. I can shoot s fist size gruop everytime at 20 yds but it is just a little left on the edge of the bull, im sure ill get that worked out. I like the sight picture seems easier to avoid looking at the arrow for some reason and I have a high anchor and this feels more natural as far as bow hand position. I think this is going to be great for me but need more time to tell for sure. Thanks to everyone for your input. Don

Don, I have a new Silvertip coming within a couple weeks. Like you, I have a few stick on rests on standby, waiting for it's arrival.

I plan on setting mine up like Mike Walker's pic above. I battled with hitting right (I'm a lefty) with a similar set up a couple years ago. I am a gap shooter, and find that getting the center shot just right is the whole key to whether I hit to the right or not.  I just hope I can get it all worked out on my new bow quickly!

Yes I am right handed and I removed the little foam pad off the back of the rest before installing per Daves instructions and I played with point weight and different spines of arrows its not a spine issue just shoots a little off as far as where im looking it is only about 2 inches and the arrows seem to fly great but it was snowing straight in my face. I will shoot inside at the club this evening during leauge and see how they look, but for now Im content.

I've always used and elevated rest. Don't know how one will work on the Sasquatch recurve I got coming though. I don't cant my bow and don't know how that will work off the shelf either.

I use a Bear Weatherrest on my Silvertip and it shoots awesome!   I also use plastic vanes on my arrows so the rest is perfect for this. Basically the same set up Paul Schafer used exclusively for everything he hunted, so I'm told. Can't argue with his results in the field.  The arrows are whisper quiet in flight and fly lazer beam straight.   Simply point and shoot.  Accuracy, dependability, durability, and just made for hunting.   Can't see myself using anything else for the rest of my hunting days.  ~Steve
