Most arrow rests are cut 1 1/4 to two inches above the center of the bow, with the vast majority of them closer to 1 1/4 inches above center. Selfbow makers tend to cut their shelves closer to two inches above center because if they find one limb is stiffer than the other during tillering, it's a simple matter to just flip the bow.
